Name: Alice

Job title: Pharmacy Manager

Qualifications when I started at Boots: Masters degree in Pharmacy

My career so far: After qualifying in 2002, I worked as a Pharmacist in Mansfield. Since then, I’ve worked in a variety of stores around Sheffield – some of them high street, some in edge of town retail parks. I now work in the large destination store. It’s a ‘premier’ store which means it delivers the best service and has the best teams. It’s an opportunity I couldn’t let pass me by.

My typical day: Every day is different. The atmosphere is buzzing. I could be a store pharmacist one day and at Head Office another. Developing our teams is a major focus for me, whether they’re Accuracy Checking Technicians, Dispensers, or Healthcare Advisers. The attraction of my role is the variety and opportunities it offers.

The best thing about Boots: I think it’s working with a fantastic leadership team to deliver a service that’s world-leading. Boots is at the forefront of the pharmacy agenda. It’s constantly delivering new initiatives faster than the competition – and that’s brilliant.
