Matthew Elswood

Hi, my name is Matthew, but please call me Matt. Before working for MyPace I worked in the NHS for 24 years, as a pharmacist. Most of my career was working as a specialist mental health pharmacist. In the last ten years of my NHS career I was the Chief Pharmacist for one of the largest mental health providers in the country. I was also a national specialty advisor for NHS England, as part of the mental health team. 
‍

I am passionate about helping people with mental health challenges live the best life that they can, and, making people feel seen as individuals, not just 'numbers on a spreadsheet'... so you can expect me to be friendly and keen to learn about you and what makes you tick. I look forwards to meeting you and being part of your journey. 

I have experience of the diagnosis, treatment and management of a range of mental health conditions. I have specific skills and knowledge in helping people to optimise their medication

Outside of Work I am a keen walker, secret DJ and, not-so-secret Yeovil Town FC supporter. Otherwise you will find me travelling, reading a book, or at the gym.
