Pharmacists recognised in Birthday Honours
Three pharmacists received honours for their services to pharmacy and the NHS in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list, published on 11 June.
Ian Mullen, chairman of Forth Valley NHS Board and former chairman of
the Scottish Pharmaceutical General Council, has been made an officer
of the Order of the British Empire for his services to the NHS in Scotland.
Mr Mullen commented: “I believe that this award demonstrates how
important it is for the profession to be properly represented by having
pharmacists in senior leadership positions within the NHS. I would encourage
all pharmacists to consider applying for non-executive posts within the
health service. There is no better way of influencing the NHS agenda
and of demonstrating to ministers and senior officials that broad-based
range of skills for which pharmacists are well-known.”
Hooman Ghalamkari, proprietor of DG Pharmacy Health and Mobility Centre,
has been awarded an MBE for his services to pharmacy in Worcester and
Kirit Patel, chairman of the Day Lewis Group, has been awarded an MBE
for his services to pharmacy in the South of England. |
