THE TEAM

 

Steve Simbler MRPharm.S

Steve is an experienced pharmacist with over 20 years specialising in medicines management within elite sport, providing expert consultancy and delivering the MedsOnTrack® medication tracking software to professional teams and sporting organisations. He assists Premier League clubs and national governing bodies across football, rugby, athletics, tennis, cricket, rowing and cycling, helping them achieve the highest standards of safety, compliance and clinical governance around medicines handling.

​

After identifying gaps in how medicines were controlled in sport, Steve developed a robust system of Medicines Management Standard Operating Procedures, which formed the foundation of the MedsOnTrack® platform — now trusted to streamline and safeguard medication management in high-performance environments.

​

Steve’s expertise has been sought at major international events, including serving on the Pharmacy Planning Group for the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, working in the polyclinic pharmacy at the London 2017 World Athletics Championships, and supporting athletes again at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. He was Pharmacy Advisor to the 2015 Rugby World Cup and, since 2018, has contributed to clinical oversight as a member of the British Cycling Clinical Governance Committee.

From 2016 to 2024, Steve also served as a pharmacist member of the General Pharmaceutical Council Fitness to Practise Committee, further reflecting his reputation for professional integrity, regulatory expertise and leadership within the profession.

​

Together, this experience positions Steve as a trusted authority in medicines management for sport, combining clinical expertise with practical, technology-led solutions.
