Please introduce yourself: Director Pharmacy & Care

The SmartMed team has been reinforced by Frank Verheijen since September.

After obtaining his pharmacy diploma, Frank has been shaping pharmaceutical care in Leidsche Rijn with a number of colleagues since 2004. In 2014, he made the switch to Alliance Healthcare; first to supervise the transition from Kring to Alphega pharmacy for the independent pharmacy. In parallel, he started the Alliance Healthcare Management Development Programme in collaboration with Nyenrode Business University. In the position of business manager, he visited many pharmacies to give advice on quality of care, team & process optimisation and finances. He then joined the Alliance Healthcare executive team with final responsibility for Boots Netherlands and Corporate Social Responsibility. He has held various board positions, including LOA-KNMP, ASKA and NMVO. At SmartMed, Frank will contribute to the strategy, organisational development and execution of services for our clients. The growth ambitions of SmartMed and Frank's expertise, network and experience in the pharmaceutical industry form a good combination.

Frank Verheijen: "I am impressed by the state-of-the-art IT solutions being developed, including the Microsoft Azure cloud environment, microservices, etc. The added value of the pharmacist in the field of medication management and medication safety is thus demonstrable and visible. I would be happy to visit you to get acquainted and to spar together about the future role of the pharmacist and what we as SmartMed can do for you in this area with, among others, PharmaSys 6, the renewed solution of SmartMed Pharmacy in 2022. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at frank.verheijen@smartmed.world."
