Irish Pharmacy Awards 2024

On Saturday, 25th May 2024 over 650 of community pharmacy’s leading individuals, teams and pharma representatives gathered at the Clayton Hotel, Dublin for the biggest night in the pharmacy calendar.

To the public, pharmacy is the most accessible face of the healthcare service.

Pharmacy teams play a pivotal role as a community and health asset across Ireland, striving for excellence in public health care and driving delivery of services focused on prevention, healthcare improvement and protection of their local communities.

Much of this work goes unnoticed but the Irish Pharmacy Awards provide the opportunity to honour and applaud these inspirational and deserving professionals and teams. It is through their work that pharmacy is positioned, at the forefront of healthcare, improving the lives of people across the country.

The Irish Pharmacy Awards are brought to you by Irish Pharmacy News, Ireland’s best and most influential independent community pharmacy magazine.

These Awards recognise the achievements of individuals and teams working in the community pharmacy sector; their dedication and innovation which position the profession at the forefront of healthcare, improving the lives of people across the country.

They represent a unique and high-profile opportunity to celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of Ireland’s pharmacy professionals and aim to recognise outstanding examples of high standards, best practice, innovation and excellence.

It has been, and continues to be, the goal of Irish Pharmacy News to recognise the exact added value of the contribution made by community pharmacists and their teams.

The sentiment has been echoed by some of the leading healthcare companies here in Ireland and their support is evident in the most positive way possible with their sponsorship of each of our Awards. Furthermore, acknowledgement must be given to our prestigious judging panel. The shortlisting process this year was extremely difficult – with some strong entries failing even to make it as finalists – but it is important to highlight that it’s not just about winning. As double Award winner Mark McPhillips sad, “There is no such thing as a loser, everyone here tonight is winning within the profession.” 14 Awards were given out on the night, and you can read all about the winners on the next pages.
