“I am thrilled with this Award. The whole concept of the Awards for us at Mark’s Pharmacy increases staff morale, creates excitement within the pharmacy. To win is the icing on the cake but I have to say without a win it is still always worth it. There is no such thing in my book as a loser, everyone here tonight is winning within the profession.
“These Awards really raise the standard among pharmacy and also provide us all with a great networking event to meet our fellow colleagues and learn more about what’s happening in other pharmacies across Ireland. That aspect of shared learning is so important.”
Anne Marie O’Neill, Field Sales Manager at Perrigo said, “Congratulations to all the Finalists. This is a fantastic honour for Perrigo to sponsor this Award and to recognise the work Superintendents are doing; we have 3 amazing nominees.
“Perrigo is at the hub of pharmacy, with pharmacy being the main portion of our business. Pharmacists are a central part of all communities so it’s very important for us that we have our brands with these professionals who are caring for customers and offering services to those who don’t often have access anywhere else in the community.”
