Mark’s Pharmacy, Ardee landed the title of Point of Care Testing Award for 2023, securing the top spot against three other finalists.
Mark’s community pharmacy team exemplifies exceptional team spirit and dedication to enhancing patient care at all levels. Working together efficiently and effectively, they create a collaborative and supportive environment, fostering trust and respect among team members and empowering each individual to contribute their unique expertise towards shared goals.
Innovation and forward-thinking are central to their operations. The team unites around common objectives. This focused and unified approach to healthcare initiatives has led to numerous successful projects, showcasing our excellence in quality, innovation, productivity, and prevention.
One example of these collaborative efforts is the establishment of point-of-care testing services, such as diabetes screening, to promote prevention, early detection, and disease management. This initiative demonstrates their ability to work together to improve patient access to care through effective and rapid technology.
Pharmacist and Owner Mark McPhillips told us this award was a team effort. “As an independent pharmacy we are delighted to have won this Award; the team always have a great night. This is a unique opportunity for us to not only come together as a team but to join with our colleagues across Ireland in celebrating the innovation and hard work that is ongoing.
“What is truly really important about the Irish Pharmacy Awards is that they put pharmacists and their teams in a position whereby we can represent our profession on a national level and in a position to advance where we, as pharmacists, can ultimately be.”
