They have grown enormously to become synonymous with outstanding achievement, dedication and excellence in Northern Ireland’s pharmacy profession. Now here is your chance to enter the highly coveted Pharmacy in Focus Awards 2009. Now in its third successive year, the Pharmacy in Focus Awards are back with new categories, meaning even more opportunities to impress our independent judging panel, win a specially commissioned CHEMI trophy and £1000! This year the Ulster Chemists’ Association and Profile are delighted to exclusively unveil the new Business Initiative and Pharmacy Team of the Year Awards. Having an in-depth business understanding and an entrepreneurial mind, an exemplary team and an emphasis on improving patient outcomes are all fundamental qualities for a successful pharmacy in this changing and more demanding healthcare environment. To complement the official launch of the Pharmacy in Focus Awards 2009, pharmacies will receive a special 20 page Awards supplement, giving detailed criteria for each category, information on how to enter and an Expression of Interest form to complete. This is also available for download at www.pharmacyinfocus.co.uk/awards. The Ulster Chemists’ Association President’s Ball and Pharmacy in Focus Awards have combined to become the biggest night in Northern Ireland’s pharmacy calendar and one of the most well attended in the UK and Ireland. Comprehensive planning to make 23 January 2010 the most memorable event yet is underway and both the UCA and Profile Publishing would like to sincerely thank all of our supporters – without your continued commitment, events such as these that raise the profile of the profession throughout the health and social care network would not be possible. We look forward to seeing hundreds of pharmacy friends, colleagues and suppliers at this unmissable night. In the meantime, enter the Pharmacy in Focus Awards now!
