Emmett McCann is a Pharmacist at Tony Walsh’s Allcare Pharmacy in Merrion Shopping Centre, Dublin. He has been described as a healthcare professional at the heart of the community who always goes ‘above and beyond in terms of service, friendliness and support offered to everyone customers.’
One particular customer was suffering from very low self-esteem following their first child, when their immune system was low. As a result they developed worsening of their psoriasis. Emmett stepped up, took the customer through a private consultation and explained their treatment and management thoroughly.
Furthermore, he advised on vitamins and supplements and offered reassurance, which his nominee describes as ‘invaluable’ and a huge factor in their being able to overcome their ailments.
“Nearly eight months later and my psoriasis is almost totally cleared. Not only that but I feel mentally and physically fitter and stronger, and that is all down to Emmett and the extraordinary care I have received from him.”
Emmett commented, “It is an honour to be nominated for The People’s Pharmacist Award. I love what I do and have a real passion for the profession of pharmacy; so to know that my customers are appreciative makes all the hard work very worthwhile. I think any pharmacist can only be as good as the team behind them and we have a great ethos at Tony Walsh’s Allcare Pharmacy of working together for the betterment of the patient. We always try to go that extra mile.
“Pharmacy can often be the underdog of the health services and this Award truly gives the public the opportunity to demonstrate how they feel about the services and care we provide. My priority is for my customers, making sure they have access to the care and medicines they need; and to be on hand for important advice and direction. To receive this acknowledgment and recognition is fantastic for me, the team and for our community.”
