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 has to pull together – pharmacy technicians capture the essence of this in everything that they do.
It was Adrian Dunne Balbriggan Pharmacy Technician Dominika Wikowicz that scooped the title on the night.
Dominika Wikowicz is a Senior Technician in Adrian Dunne Pharmacy Balbriggan. She qualified as an EU Pharmacy Technician in Poland and joined Adrian Dunne group in 2019. In this short period of time she has become the most valuable part of the team. She is hard working and she is totally committed to her job. Her gentle personality has won the hearts of everybody around her in the Pharmacy.
The main way Dominika has enhanced the role of the Pharmacy Technician is through her commitment and attention to detail when it comes to stock accuracy. She has achieved the highest live-stock accuracy score in the company.
Speaking after collecting her trophy, Dominika said, “I am speechless at having been awarded this title. I was honoured to have been nominated by my colleagues and to be included with all the finalists here tonight. Over the last number of years, especially during Covid, everyone in pharmacy worked that bit harder and went that extra mile for their patients and customers.
“To be recognised for my work gives me great pride and is a real motivating factor in always wanting to do as much as I can do and be the best I can be.”
