NOELLE HOLMES Last year’s recipient of this award was Noelle Holmes who became a real-life heroine when a local man ran into a pharmacy suffering from anaphylactic shock. ‘There was definitely a moment of panic at the time,’ Noelle told PiF. ‘Naturally, as a pharmacist, you don’t want to make a mistake, but then I just asked myself what I would expect anyone to do for me or for a family member and I just acted. It was a simple decision at the end of the day.’
