Supervising Pharmacist with Quinn’s Pharmacy in Bray. Ultan McKeon was nominated for the 2024 People’s Pharmacist by one nominee who describes him as ‘an incredible support.’
“Ultan has been an incredible support to me and my family,” they said. “When my husband underwent a major operation two years ago, Ultan managed all of his new prescriptions and supplies, ensuring we had everything we needed.
“On Christmas Eve, he went above and beyond by sourcing essential supplies for us and even carried them to my car, as I had my baby with me at the time. He has also met us after hours when we’ve urgently needed prescriptions and is always available by text for any questions or concerns. His dedication and kindness are truly remarkable!”
Ultan told Irish Pharmacy News, “Receiving this nomination means so much to not only me but our entire team. It shows us how much our contributions are valued by the community, and that our work truly makes a difference. Sometimes, we don’t realise the impact we
have until we see messages on social media or receive a heartfelt thank you from a patient.
“Recently, a customer wrote a touching article expressing gratitude for our efforts to source a crucial product for their child on Christmas Eve—it’s moments like these that highlight how meaningful our work is. This nomination is the icing on the cake and serves as a wonderful reminder of why I love helping our community.”
He added, “Starting a new business seven years ago, we’ve focused on building trusting relationships with our patients and their families. Supporting people in challenging situations—whether they’re managing long-term illnesses, dealing with end-of-life care, or simply handling health challenges alone—is incredibly rewarding. Doing everything possible for them is deeply important to me and to our team. Being able to offer that kind of support and care is, in itself, the most fulfilling part of our work.”
