Helen Stones

I am an experienced pharmacy professional with demonstrated success in both pharmacist and leadership roles. I also have a proven track record as a designated supervisor. I use my experience to provide exceptional patient care through enhanced services including vaccinations. I am also able to manage pharmacy operations with flexible, resourceful approach, demonstrating attention to detail and a focus on safety.

I am a caring and empathetic pharmacist who is able to build rapport and foster trust with both patients and colleagues alike. I believe in creating a supportive and motivating working environment which allows colleagues to thrive in their current roles and progress if they so desire.

I have committed a great deal of time to tutoring and mentoring pharmacy students at all stages of their careers and also Boots colleagues at all the various levels on their journey in Healthcare training. This has proved to be one of the most rewarding aspects of my career.
