Norman is an entrepreneurial pharmacist with 35 years of experience developing products and services to manage patient medicine adherence. He started out by setting up a high street pharmacy in 1984 and has since pioneered innovations in medicine adherence, including the NOMAD system, telmenow.com, MEDICONS and PAMAN. He was also a director and board member of Bupa Healthcare Services for six years.
In 2022, The Medication Support Company won an award from HSJ, cooperative working, the first of two awards and four shortlists in what was a very busy year for the company and its new and innovative PAMAN service.
