Palvinder Deol qualified as a pharmacist in 1997 after completing his pharmacy degree at the University of Bath. He began his career at Boots the Chemist, where he gained extensive experience over seven years. Starting as a Relief Pharmacist, he quickly progressed to Pharmacy Manager and ultimately became a Store Manager, showcasing his leadership abilities and commitment to excellence in community pharmacy.

In 2004, Palvinder joined Superdrug as the Regional Pharmacy Manager for the Southeast, overseeing operations across multiple branches. During his five years in this role, he developed and implemented strategies to enhance service quality and efficiency, ensuring that patients received exceptional care.

In addition to his experience in large organisations, Palvinder has devoted considerable time to the independent pharmacy sector. In 2008, he took a significant step in his career by opening his own pharmacy. This move allowed him to focus on providing personalised patient care and building strong relationships within his community. As an independent pharmacist, Palvinder has tailored his services to meet the unique needs of his patients while adapting to advancements in healthcare, introducing initiatives that support the development and delivery of critical NHS services.

His vision is to uphold the values instilled in him through years of professional service, exemplary customer care, expert advice, and a steadfast commitment to community health, while embracing the convenience and discretion of modern digital solutions. Palvinder is focused on ensuring that every patient receives the highest standard of care, trusting in a reliable and knowledgeable service provider.
