Hiltons Pharmacy, Cornelscourt, Dublin David Gilisenan, Hiltons Pharmacy, Dublin “McLernons have supported the Irish Pharmacy Awards since their inception seven years ago because we believe that they shine a spotlight on the hard word, dedication and professionalism of community pharmacies up and down the country.

“Community pharmacies are the bedrock of the health service, providing a first port of call to the worried well, to carers, and those with more severe or chronic conditions. As a medicines expert, the community pharmacist is best placed to advise patients on any change in their medicines regimen, taking time to address any worries they may have and provide information and help.

“At McLernons we believe that community pharmacies are the unsung heroes of healthcare, and that is why we support events such as this, which provide a platform to celebrate excellence in the profession.

We seek to laud pharmacists who find time in an already busy day to innovate, perhaps using patient apps or other IT to deliver a new service to patients or enhance an existing one.

“We would strongly encourage pharmacists to enter these awards, and shout their achievements from the rooftops.”
