Gurdeep Nanra graduated from Aston University with a Masters degree in Pharmacy in 2005. After completing her pre-registration training with the Manor Pharmacy Group in Nottingham, Gurdeep worked as a Relief Pharmacist Manager. This role gave her the experience and necessary tools to later go on to manage two of some of the busier pharmacies as part of the PillBox Group.

In 2021 Gurdeep qualified as a Pharmacist Independent Prescriber from Wolverhampton University, specialising in Hypertension. Gurdeep has been able to utilise this qualification in her current role as Head of Pharmacy Services for the PillBox Group.

With her clinical knowledge and passion for healthcare, she has been able to work in collaboration with local doctors and develop NHS and private pharmacy services in the business. In particular, she has been instrumental in launching a private blood testing service, where she has become the lead phlebotomist. Having trained up in interpreting blood tests, this has enabled Gurdeep to review and discuss results with patients and advise or make referrals when needed.

Over the next one to two years, Gurdeep will continue developing a range of specialist clinics in a select number of pharmacies including blood testing and weight management. She has played an important role in promoting and delivering corporate health checks to companies such as Alliance Healthcare and looks forward to offering this to many more businesses in the near future.
