Sobha Kandel wins Pharmacy Innovation Award, sponsored by Alliance Healthcare at Independent Community Pharmacy Awards 2021

The Independent Pharmacy Awards, run in association with Independent Community Pharmacist magazine, once again shone a light on the brilliant work of community pharmacy teams.
 
The event drew an audience of MPs, leading figures within community pharmacy and pharmaceutical industry executives who heard about the innovative work going on within the sector.

Julian Mount, Managing Director, Alliance Healthcare and other senior managers from across the business attended the awards held at the House of Commons last Friday afternoon. Alliance Healthcare were the official sponsor of the Pharmacy Innovation award category. 

Sobha Kandel, who runs Woolwich Late Night Pharmacy won the Innovation Award after her hotel COVID - 19 quarantine service caught the judges’ eye. The service is run in conjunction with Greenwich Clinical Commissioning Group and Ms Kandel's pharmacy supplies OTC and prescription medications to patients isolating in the hotel. She has an exclusive contract in her area for the service and works with the GP practice.

When presenting the award, Julian said: “This has been a very challenging year for all of community pharmacy, and to be able to recognise Sobha’s achievement to continue to innovate within her community despite these challenges, is a remarkable achievement”
