John Greene. Lead Pharmacist and Managing Director
When I was Older Peoples’ Pharmacist Brighton and Hove PCT, I provided pharmaceutical advice, wrote medication policies, and delivered training to Private Social Care Providers and Brighton and Hove City Council.
It soon became clear there wasn’t much support provided to social care providers to manage medicines on a national basis. My training as a Visiting Lecturer at the University also made me realise most medicines training available was pretty poor.So I spent years working with the City Council and private care providers to transform the medication training and support provided in the city.
Word spread about the training and support. Soon East Sussex County Council and West Sussex County Council got in touch to ask me to also provide their medication training. It snowballed from there…
I left the PCT and University in 2007 to provide this training and consultancy privately on a national basis, as The Medication Training Company.
We now look after 20+ councils and private care providers all across the UK, with a team of pharmacists and nurses trained by myself and experts in their own right.
I’ve authored five books on managing medicines in social care settings, delivered numerous talks and keynote speeches across the UK, and written numerous courses both online and face-to-face.
