Emily Ashmore of Adrian Dunne Pharmacy in Ashbourne won the Alliance Community Pharmacy Technician of the Year Award.
Emily is currently working as part of a busy and dynamic Dispensary team. She is a vital part of the pharmacy team and has recently taken up a more senior role. She is eager to learn and is a keen student. Emily is at the end of her IPU Technician course and has excelled in every part of it. She is self-motivated and it is evident she enjoys learning about all aspects of a Pharmacy Technician’s role.
Her journey from a part-time employee to a lead technician underscores not just her commitment to her role but also her exceptional ability to grow, adapt, learn, and excel in the fast-paced environment of community pharmacy.
She is forward thinking, dynamic and innovative. Her exceptional IT skills have directly contributed to the innovation and improvements in efficiency within the pharmacy.
Emily said after accepting her Award, “This Award means everything to me and I know what it is also going to mean to my team who are always behind me and we work so well together. Every day we show up, happy to be there and ready to get stuck in and so for me, this Award is all of that work for the entire team rewarded.
“I think many people perhaps don’t still understand the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes every day in their local pharmacy and it’s about much more than just dispensing your medication or offering OTC products. Of course it is so much more than that, it’s about looking after the individual and looking after people who have specific needs and making sure that they are happy when leaving the pharmacy.”
Sam Lands, Head of Ireland, Alliance said in advance of the Awards night, “Alliance Pharmaceuticals Ireland is delighted to sponsor the Community Pharmacy Technician of the Year Category. We understand just how important Community Pharmacy is in offering frontline care for a whole array of ailments and conditions, with technicians playing a vital role in supporting consumers and patients alike. Through your dedication and commitment, you enhance the overall customer experience, promote health and well-being, and contribute to the advancement of the pharmacy industry as a whole. Without you, our pharmacies wouldn’t be able to run as effectively as they do, so thank you from us all!
“Congratulations to all the Nominees this evening, thank you for your never ending hard work and well done to Emily.”
