A new award, The Pharmacy Technician of the Year Professional Award has been introduced this year to recognise a pharmacy technician who has made an outstanding contribution to the profession.

The winners of the Supply Chain and Clinical Awards will present their work and all winners will receive their awards at the APTUK national conference in Cardiff in June.
The judges of the Awards were impressed with the high quality of the submissions and nominations and spent a considerable time in the adjudication process.
The Awards were established in 1997 to promote the important role of the pharmacy technician in developing and improving pharmacy services and to encourage forward thinking and innovation. AAH Hospital Service is delighted to continue to be involved with these awards.
