Could you be one of this year’s Training Matters Recognition of Excellence Awards finalists?

The Recognition of Excellence Awards acknowledge and reward the excellent and often unsung work of medicines counter assistants, dispensing assistants and pharmacy technicians who interact with the public on a daily basis and are key to the continued growth of community pharmacy.

You may not stop to think about it, but there will be moments when you know that you deserve a pat on the back. Are you proud of your product knowledge? Do you keep up to date with the latest training initiatives in the magazines and online? Are you the one that customers always ask to talk to? Is it you that always implements the latest planograms, ensures the point of sale is up to date and the windows are looking their best?

Or are you a pharmacist with team members who deserve to be recognised for going beyond the call of duty? Do you have a staff member who stands out for their great product knowledge? Is there one person that customers always ask to talk to? Is there someone who works after hours to keep the pharmacy looking great or someone who is a dab hand at category management, team motivation or retail skills?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then the Recognition of Excellence Awards 2018 are for you!

If you make the final shortlist then you and a guest of your choice will be invited to the Awards in June 2018, which includes an all-expenses paid champagne reception and three-course meal at London’s five-star Dorchester Hotel.

Details on how to enter for 2018 are coming very soon so watch this space!
