The eighth annual AAH hospital pharmacy technician of the year awards were presented by Ann Lewis, Secretary and Registrar of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society at a lunch reception at the Park Lane Hotel, London, on 14 October.
The winners, announced in September’s issue of Hospital Pharmacist (p294) were Tracy Sedgwick, senior pharmacy technician for medicines
management and intermediate care, Darlington Hospital, and Paul Townsend,
pharmacy technician, Birmingham Children’s Hospital. As part of
their prize Ms Sedgwick and Mr Townsend will also present their work
in a poster session at the annual mid-year clinical meeting of the American
Society of Health-System Pharmacists in Las Vegas in December.
Jeff Bulmer, AAH Hospital Service director, said: “I warmly congratulate
this year’s winners on their achievements, the remarkable insight
they give into the high-level work pharmacy technicians undertake and
the inspiration this gives to future pharmacy technicians.”
Also present was Darren Leech, president of the Association of Pharmacy
Technicians UK. He stated that the association would be working with
AAH Hospital Service in its continuing support of the awards scheme.
The event also saw the launch of next year’s AAH Hospital Service
technician of the year awards. Details and entry forms are available
now for both the supply chain and the clinical categories. Mr Townsend
urged others to enter the competition. “I enjoyed working on this
project and am looking forward to the trip to Las Vegas. Anyone thinking
of entering next year’s competition should go for it,” he said.
