Matthew is deputy director of the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education within Manchester Pharmacy School. After graduating as a pharmacist, Matthew worked in hospital pharmacy practice, where he set up and lead a Rheumatology Outpatient Clinic. Making the move to community pharmacy, Matthew ran a pharmacy based HbA1c testing service in collaboration with local GP practices and Bayer UK. He then moved to work for the National Pharmacy Association supporting pharmacists across the North of England and Yorkshire in setting up new services and bidding for funding from their PCTs, predominantly to support minor ailment services and public health. In 2002 he moved to work for CPPE, supporting the national services being set up by the Department of Health which has continued through to the now commonplace provision of MURs, NMS and public health support. He was delighted to lead this six week campaign to encourage the pharmacy workforce to engage actively in promoting kidney health.
Matthew was delighted to submit his career history for the first wave of RPS faculty applications and was pleased to be one of the first Fellows of the RPS Faculty. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society in 2015.
