Susan Gibert

Speaker Bio

Susan has a background as a hospital and community pharmacist in both France and England. She has worked in a variety of hospital specialist roles, including oncology, radio-pharmacy, small scale manufacturing, thrombosis and latterly pharmacy procurement.

She has held positions locally in NHS Trusts, regionally in the Thames Valley and Wessex, Regional Pharmacy Procurement Service (TVW PPS) and nationally as the chair of the National Homecare Medicines Committee (NHMC). Susan led the NHS homecare response to the Covid-19 pandemic, an experience that changed her perspective.

In 2023, after 21 years of continuous service to the NHS, Susan took the decision to move into the private homecare medicines sector to become the Director of Customer Experience at Sciensus Pharma. Patients have always been at the heart of everything that she wants to achieve, so this role gives her an ideal opportunity to impact the lives of patients and the NHS in a positive way. She is able to take feedback from patients, the NHS as well as pharmaceutical manufacturers to influence the service that patients receive.

She remains a homecare representative on the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Hospital Expert Advisory Group (RPS HEAG) and is a member of the Board of the National Clinical Homecare Association (NCHA).

Susan is passionate about homecare medicines services and would like the NHS to maximise the benefits that can be realised by improving patient access to medicine whilst prioritising medicines optimisation initiatives.
