Celebrating Pharmacy Innovation at the House of Commons

Alliance Healthcare celebrated the very best in pharmacy at the House of Lords as sponsors of the Innovation Awards at the Independent Pharmacy Awards.

Raj Nutan, Healthcare Strategy and Services Director, Alliance Healthcare and Sam Unsworth, Head of Communications, Alliance Healthcare had the honour to represent Alliance Healthcare at the prestigious setting, where Sam presented the award and said: “Innovation is essential to deliver the best service to patients. That’s why Alliance Healthcare is delighted to sponsor the Innovation Award at the Independent Pharmacy Awards.”

Deborah Evans, Remedi Health, Hampshire was our winner, who wowed the judges with her ability to not only lead but think outside the box.

Deborah has worked in pharmacy for over 35 years and runs a GpHC-registered private pharmacy which only opened last year. She has pulled together a brilliant team of 12 who have rolled out a range of private services for their patients – and in deciding not to provide NHS services, she has made a real success of her business in very tough times.

Her business model reverses the traditional community pharmacy approach. Instead of her predominately prescription and medicines business that offers services, hers is predominately a clinical service business of which medicines and prescriptions are part of the solution for the clients. The judges described Deborah as “an inspiration.”
