In line with Helapet’s continued commitment to education and the development of its staff and customers, the company was once more delighted to sponsor the Kathryn Miles Poster Award in collaboration with the Association of Pharmacy Technicians.
Posters were presented at the APT conference and exhibition 2010 which was held in Chester, and were judged for content, clarity, originality and visual impact.
Many congratulations to Sally Kemp and Elizabeth Fidler who were presented with first prize for their poster entitled: “Standardising Training and Accreditation within a nationally recognised framework using Pre and In process Checking (PIPC) as a model”.
Second prize was awarded to Theresa Leach for her poster entitled: “The impact of the implementation of a prescription tracking system on dispensary services improving and communicating prescription processing times”. Theresa is Technician Team and Dispensary Manager at Worthing and Southlands hospital.
Third prize went to Sean Brock for his poster “Improving patient safety”. Sean is based at North Tyneside General Hospital.
The standard of entries was very high this year and it was pleasing to see the posters and abstracts submitted and displayed at the conference.
Well done to everyone who presented a poster and many congratulations to the worthy winners.
The winning poster abstracts can be viewed on Helapet’s educational resource website www.helapet.net.
