On 6 March 2026, the PDA announced the results of its regional committee elections. This page will be updated shortly with regional committee members serving from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031.
Anne Davies (nec Regional Representative, wALES AND WEST)
I qualified as a pharmacist in 1990 and have worked in community practice since then, mainly as an employee, but also doing some locum work. I first joined the PDA when I saw how colleagues had been helped by the PDA support team. I continue to be involved with the PDA as I strongly believe in what the association stands for, i.e. looking after the interests of individual pharmacists. This is especially important as workplace pressures continue to increase, and I believe in the PDA’s commitment to helping to improve patient safety and care through the improvement of working conditions.
Anne is part of the PDA Union Boots Reps Network.
Jyoti Saini (Primary Care, Walsall)
I qualified in 1997 having worked in community pharmacy, academia and have over 18 years experience in Primary Care as well as working as an active Independent Prescriber. I am aware of the pressures that can be placed on clinical pharmacists within General Practice and whilst working within a multidisciplinary team.
As the role of the pharmacist has evolved more of us are moving into PCN and CCG positions, I want to support members in being confident to work within their scope of competence as well as being able to work in a safe environment to enhance patient safety.
I have been a PDA Union member for many years and additionally, I am now a PDA Union representative in the workplace. I would like to support my colleagues within this sector to ensure we are fully represented and to encourage those that are not part of the union, to consider the benefits of being a member of the PDA Union.
Richard Evans (Locum Pharmacist, West Wales)
I have been a pharmacist for over 40 years, the last 12 years as a locum in the community. I wanted to get involved with the PDA Union so that I could contribute to its work of representing all pharmacists, whichever sector of the profession they work in.
Helen Lewis (Co-opted Locum Pharmacist)
I’ve been a community pharmacist for over 30 years and have seen many positive changes to the profession in that time. I joined the PDA Union to ensure I had independent support in the workplace, and then I became a Trade Union Rep to support and empower colleagues who need their voices heard.
I also support the PDA Union by delivering professional risk management workshops to pharmacy students with the aim of empowering the next generation.
Michal Lamparski (Hospital pharmacist, North Devon)
I qualified as a pharmacist in Poland. I worked as a community pharmacist both there and in community pharmacy in the UK. I now worked in the NHS in North Devon. I am an IP in respiratory medicine and have an Advanced Clinical Practice MSc degree specialising in respiratory care. I am passionate about the NHS and a great advocate of advanced clinical practice pharmacists.
