Cliff McElhinney from Urban Pharmacy New President for UCA
Urban Pharmacy Pharmacist Cliff McElhinney has been appointed as the new President of the Ulster Chemists’ Association. Cliff takes up the position at the end of this month (November).
The news of Cliff’s election comes as the Ulster Chemists’ Association published their Pharmacy Strategy (details on page 17) and Cliff outlines membership engagement and support as his top priorities for the coming year.
“We will be enhancing our network of UCA Local meetings encouraging all pharmacists to come along and hear about new developments and take advantage of the CPD offered,” he says. “We will also be driving forward our education programme and that is something I am passionate about, enhancing the practical education and training it provides including the launch of a Pharmacy Management & Leadership Programme starting in January.”
Cliff is Pharmacist and Owner at Urban Pharmacy, providing excellent services as well as first class information, advice and education on health
matters to customers on the Dublin Road.
“This is a hugely exciting time for the profession with many changes and innovations underway. The UCA is the champion of the whole profession and I feel immensely privileged to be leading the organisation at this time,” he added.
“I will ensure that wherever possible I will promote the expertise that the UCA has.
“I will work with the regulator to recognise that the UCA is a cornerstone to revalidation and demonstration of continuing fitness to practice and I will seek to attain membership and through my personal action show the value of the UCA organisation.
“I will ensure I take every opportunity to promote the whole profession to health professionals and the public so the essential role we play in health and social care is better understood. Across all sectors, I will promote the professions role in patient safety as well as our role in maximising health outcomes of the public we serve.”
