The JPA Brenson Lawlor Young Community Pharmacist of the Year Award recognises rising talent – those individuals who despite being in the early stages of their pharmacy careers are already demonstrating that they can make a difference to the pharmacy profession and the companies for whom they work and the communities they serve.
The Award for 2023 was won by Daniel McCormack, McCauley Health & Beauty Pharmacy, Dungarvan.
Daniel’s proactive approach to administering Covid-19 vaccinations and providing flu vaccinations demonstrates his dedication to improving the health and well-being of his community. By offering weekend clinics for children’s flu appointments, he is accommodating busy parents who may have difficulty attending during the week.
Furthermore, Daniel’s free blood pressure monitoring service shows his commitment to preventing and managing chronic diseases such as hypertension. Overall, Daniel’s actions show his commitment to providing excellent healthcare services to his community and his willingness to go above and beyond to meet their needs. His efforts will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the health and well-being of those he serves. Commenting after receiving his Award, Daniel stated, “I honestly wasn’t expecting a nomination, I wasn’t expecting to be shortlisted as a finalist and to be standing here now with the JPA Brenson Lawlor Young Community Pharmacist of the Year Award is simply amazing.
“The team we have right now is phenomenal and couldn’t be any better. Everyone puts so much work and effort in and without their help, the help of the wider pharmacy staff and without the help and support of our local community I wouldn’t be standing here now.
“As pharmacists working in the community every day it can be easy to get overlooked as a profession and so these Awards present us with the platform to get together and celebrate achievements across the industry. It makes each of us very proud to be in the job we are in.”
