About Aamina Rafiq

Aamina started her journey with Simple Online Healthcare in 2018 as a locum pharmacist. Shortly after, she moved into a full-time role as Responsible Pharmacist and Lead Pharmacist Manager. She now holds the role of Superintendent Pharmacist, with overall responsibility for clinical governance and oversight of the pharmacy service.

Interests

Aamina has been involved in a lot of humanitarian charity organisations from a very young age; at 11 years old she received a Blue Peter badge for raising funds for emergency aid for an international natural disaster. Most recently, Aamina and her sisters raised over £70,000 for an international emergency maternal project in March 2025, in honour of their grandmother.

Outside of work, Aamina enjoys weight training sessions with her PT and classes. She has recently started a small sweet treat business with her sisters, and has found a new hobby of baking and creating new desserts!

She enjoys going out for food, watching a good movie or netflix series and spending quality time with her loved ones.
