Knights Pharmacy are proud to announce that two of our staff members have been awarded for their hard work, dedication and training at the Training Matters awards on 21st May 2014:

• Sharon Evans, Counter Assistant at our Rubery branch is the "Counter Intelligence Award" winner, for excellent counter knowledge, advice and for providing free NHS Health Checks.

• Myra Gauntlett, ACT (Accredited Checking Technician") is the "Highly Commended Pharmacy Technician of the Year" winner. She was recognised for helping to run efficient dispensaries, being an experienced ACT and providing a very successful stop smoking service.

The awards were run by 'Training Matters' magazine, a magazine for professional assistants, to recognise and reward outstanding work by pharmacy teams. They were shortlisted from hundreds of entries, then narrowed down to a final 48. They then had to answer a set of pharmacy related questions and explain what they did at work and why they thought they deserved to win the award etc.
