National Pharmacy Association Board chairman announced

The National Pharmacy Association (NPA) Board of management on 27 April elected the positions of Chair, Vice-Chair and Treasurer for the period of 2020-2022.

• Andrew Lane will continue as Chair.

• Nick Kaye picks up the vacant position of Vice-Chair.

• Michael Guerin will continue as Treasurer.

• Reena Barai becomes an NPA nominee to PSNC alongside Umesh Patel.

The period in office for all these roles is two years.

Andrew Lane said:

“I will carry on ensuring the NPA is fully focused on its mission to support independent community pharmacies, as they, in turn, help patients across the UK, during the coronavirus crisis and beyond. The support of Nick and Michael (as Vice-Chair and Treasurer respectively) will be invaluable to me, in these very testing times for the sector and the sector’s leadership bodies. I only hope that the circumstances are very much better for pharmacy and the country as a whole by the time we reach the end of this period of office, in 2022.”
