Whilst it was not possible to hold the event in person this year, virtual attendees of the Welsh Pharmacy Awards were still able to celebrate all of the hard work and dedication of pharmacists.

There were 11 awards categories spanning the different corners of the profession, the titles ranged from Community Pharmacy Practice of the Year to Pharmacy Student Leadership Award.

Each year the PDA sponsor the Student Leadership category in the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Ireland Pharmacy Awards. This year, the winner of the student award was Dafydd Rizzo.

As Chairman of the Welsh Pharmaceutical Students Association (WPSA), and in line with the Welsh School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences celebrating its centenary year, Dafydd decided to implement a series of important changes. For example, to support the first years at the start of the academic year, he helped to organise an Initiation Social which got the new students mixing before they started their first day. Under his leadership a huge range of social activities have been undertaken, leading to them raising £3,702.63 for the nominated charity, Life for African Mothers.

Congratulations to Dafydd and well done to all of the finalists.
