He said: “Alice is the perfect fit for Alitam, and a huge advocate of our movement to revolutionise healthcare by fully utilising highly skilled and experienced community pharmacists.

“She contacted me having seen our work at the vanguard of innovation, most recently with our roll-out of GP-type clinical services like Minor Ailments Clinics, diabetes checks, weight loss clinics and more in Alitam stores.

“It’s no understatement to say that, as soon as we met, we realised it was a meeting of minds. Alice has the acute intelligence, crucial experience and personable qualities to render her ideal for this role.

“She will be instrumental in transforming our community pharmacies from their product-based offering to one of clinical and wellbeing services, and will work closely with out Chief Operating Officer Bharti Patel in this regard.

“Many Alitam pharmacies already offer ‘GP-type’ services, of course, but Alice will be ensuring all pharmacies incorporate them where feasible.

“Alice will also work ‘at the coalface’ with every one of our pharmacies, guiding them through the process of widening their clinical repertoire, and enabling the cross-fertilisation of ideas and experiences which is in the Alitam DNA.

“With her engaging manner, and boundless enthusiasm, Alice will be a real asset to Alitam.”

She said: “I’ve been waiting for an opportunity such as this for a long time. “It’s long been obvious to me that pharmacies are uniquely equipped to plug the enormous gap in healthcare which leaves many of our citizens are needlessly suffering—most especially in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Feisal’s radical vision for healthcare is precisely what’s needed right now, and it’s galvanising pharmacies in a way I’ve not seen before.
