Record learning outcomes

Outstanding examples of the work carried out by pharmacy teams were celebrated at last month's inaugural Recognition of Excellence Awards, hosted by Training Matters, as the winners and highly commended nominations were announced at a celebratory lunch at the Landmark Hotel in London.

Sponsored by TENA, P&G PharmacyCare, Kellogg's and CIG Healthcare Partnership, the awards set out to find pharmacy team members who went above and beyond their duty for the benefit of their customers, patients and pharmacy.

Training Matters editor, Gemma O'Sullivan, told guests: €Over the last few years alone, the roles and responsibilities of medicines counter assistants, dispensing assistants and pharmacy technicians have increased dramatically to better support the health of customers. And, given the fantastic work that is happening throughout community pharmacy, we thought it was about time to reward and recognise some of the outstanding examples.€

The finalists were: Jacqueline Cheetham, A&L Porter New Deer Pharmacy, Aberdeenshire; Marisa Riddiford, Kamsons Pharmacy, East Sussex; Joann Kray, Raymond Hall Pharmacy, Hull; Richard Stephenson, Right Medicine Pharmacy Group, West Lothian; Sharon Evans, Knights Pharmacy, Rubery; Christine Park, LloydsPharmacy, Ross Shire; Leanne Beverley, Monarch Pharmacy, Coventry; and Myra Gauntlett, Knights Pharmacy, Rubery.
