It is evident that pharmacy technicians are playing an increasingly important supporting role as pharmacists are increasingly spending more time with patient consultations and engaging local stakeholders.
The shift in emphasis from dispensing to healthcare provision has meant that the wider pharmacy team must pull together – pharmacy technicians capture the essence of this in everything that they do.
The Community Pharmacy Technician of the Year Award will recognise the winner’s important contribution to the community pharmacy technician profession. Applications are invited from both the independent and chain sectors.
The judges will be looking for those who can demonstrate promotion of the role of the Pharmacy Technician and those who continue to champion excellence through forward thinking and innovation.
The winners’ achievements will be an inspiration to those pursuing innovative practice; to those striving to raise standards; and to pharmacists who, through their professionalism, provide models for others within pharmacy.
