About Jennie:
Jennie is the Locality Lead for Manchester and has experience working in a variety of store and field-based management roles for Boots.
As well as her role as a Committee Member, Jennie spends two days a week based at the University of Central Lancashire as a Teacher Practitioner.
Jennie has been on several LPCs in Greater Manchester over the last 25 years, and uses her expert knowledge of workforce development to support the development of Boots’ healthcare teams.
“I see my role as building the links locally within the NHS in Manchester to ensure as many people as possible understand what we do now and can do in the future in community pharmacy. This will enable commissioners to give us new opportunities to grow our businesses by supporting patients in different ways.
As an LPC representative, I also try to influence local parts of the NHS to reduce the impact of things that adversely affect contractors, such as frequent prescribing changes”
