REWARDING EXCELLENCE
PHARMACIST OF THE YEAR
JULIE FARRELL, BOOKS UK, HAMILTON
Last year, Julie was given the opportunity to use the Dispensing Support Pharmacy (DSP) – Boots UK’s centralised automated dispensary. To optimise this opportunity, Julie led the team in changing a lot of processes in the pharmacy, and instilled a real drive for patient care within her team. By continually reviewing processes and supporting the team, DSP has had a great effect and the pharmacy now use the automated dispensary to dispense around 50 per cent of their weekly items
