Pharmacy awards return with usual glitz and grandeur
The 21st Pharmacy Business Awards saluted the achievements of community pharmacies across the UK on an unforgettable night of celebration even as the health secretary assured his department’s steadfast support to the sector.
The awards themselves, which were postponed due to Covid-19 pandemic, made a resounding return on Wednesday (23 March) to their usual glitz and grandeur at the plush Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel in central London – an ideal setting for what turned out to be a truly eventful night.
Speaking as the chief guest, health secretary Sajid Javid said he would like “pharmacies to reach new heights in a post-pandemic world,” arguing that the Covid-19 crisis couldn’t have been “the high-water mark for community pharmacy.”
“I really want to work with you to see how we can embrace much more new ideas and do things even better. You have my full support,” he told pharmacists.
The health secretary added that he would like to see community pharmacy represented on all boards of the upcoming integrated care systems which form the basis of new reforms at the NHS.
