Atul Patel
Director Superintendent Pharmacist,
Mildcare Limited & winner Pharmacy Business Awards
During my 40 years of practicing as a Pharmacist I have always been involved with developing and addressing ways to meet our patients’ healthcare needs within our community; and have been aware of the need to always better our integrated approach to healthcare management. Since 2006 I have also been involved in “The St. Paul’s Way Transformation Project”, working closely with Lord Andrew Mawson and Partnerships, and was appointed director of a new social enterprise named St Paul’s Way CIC which was founded in March 2012 to kick start the Transformation in East London. In recent years, the NHS has continually encouraged pharmacists to become part of an integrated primary care team. I have always dedicated time to my continuing professional development and I qualified as an independent prescriber in 2016. In 2023 I was awarded Independent Prescriber of the Year by Pharmacy Business. I am now part of the NHS Pathfinder site in Southwark, and with this opportunity furthering my professional development, I hope the journey will continue to help me to fulfill my company’s, as well as my personal, mission statement: “to serve my patients and community to the best of my ability, to ease the burden of their disease and improve the quality of their lives”.
