Richard Hackett

I am the Head of Pharmacy and Superintendent Pharmacist for Weldricks Pharmacy, we have 62 Pharmacies in the local area. I started my career in Pharmacy as a Saturday assistant for Weldricks, working alongside my Dad who was also a Pharmacist. I studied Pharmacy at Bradford University and qualified in 2005. I worked for multiple different Pharmacy chains in South and West Yorkshire, in a Leadership role in Well Pharmacy and found my way back to work for Weldricks 5 years ago. 

I represent the IPA on our LPC and I also am a member of the Community Pharmacy Forum in the ICB that helps to integrate and promote Pharmacy into their strategy. I really understand and value the difference that Community Pharmacy makes to our local communities and want to do everything I can to make help them succeed.
