PHARMACY BUSINESS AWARDS

The 2012 Pharmacy Business Awards, the biggest and most glittering ceremony in the pharmacy calender, will be held on Thursday, October 25 at the Park Plaza Hotel, Westminster Bridge, London.

The event uniquely brings together the 'who's who' of the pharmacy profession - from community pharmacists, manufacturers and wholesalers to health officials, pharmacy politicians and key buyers from across the retail and wholesale spectrum.

The awards recognise and encourage excellence within this important sector and the event itself has become a must-attend evening within the industry.

Last year the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Quality at the Department of Health, Lord Howe, joined nearly 1,000 guests to celebrate and applaud Britain's best independent community pharmacists.

Independent community pharmacists play a vital part in the provision of healthcare in Britain and their role has become even more crucial with radical health reforms looming. Many thousands of pharmacists provide an excellent service to communities throughout Britain and many go beyond the call of duty in ensuring patients receive the best care and medication.

Our innovative awards not only recognise outstanding pharmacists but encourage them to attain high standards in all aspects of the profession.

The Pharmacy Business Awards are delighted to have Teva UK as the headline sponsor of the event, giving their support to the evening's top award - Pharmacy Business of the Year 2012. The top award will go to the business that soars above the rest and the winner will walk away with a fantastic £4,000 prize.

The Pharmacy Business Awards is one of the best opportunities in the pharmacy calendar to network with manufacturers, wholesalers and other independent pharmacists. All major companies are represented at chief executive and senior director level.

If you would like to be in the audience on the night, make sure you book your place in plenty of time.
