NHS Board

Non-Executive Member

Period

09/01/23 to 08/01/27

Background

Ms Ashraf brings a distinctive perspective to the Board, with expertise in the operational and commercial environment in which NHS services are delivered, including the interface between independent community pharmacy and NHS Health Boards. 

Her perspective is shaped by a career as a pharmacist spanning clinical, management and head office roles. Serving some of Scotland’s most deprived communities has given her a strong understanding of health inequalities faced by underserved communities, including people affected by addiction and those from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

Ms Ashraf holds a Master’s in Pharmacy, a Postgraduate Certificate in Independent Prescribing and is a member of the Royal College of Pharmacy.
