The annual ceremony saw over 300 attendees return to the Europa Hotel in Belfast. There were 13 trophies distributed in categories varying from Advancements in Oncology, and Hospital Pharmacy Team of the Year, to Primary Care Initiative.
Each year, the PDA proudly sponsors the Student Leadership category in each of the Northern Ireland, Welsh, and Scottish Pharmacy Awards to recognise the achievements of future pharmacists. PDA representatives attend the awards ceremonies and present the award to the winner.
The PDA is pleased to announce that this year’s winner of the Pharmacy Student Leadership Award is Olivia Donnelly, a student at Queen’s University Belfast.
