\n Christchurch Pharmacy won the top award at the Independent Pharmacy Awards on Wednesday, September 30.\n<\/p>\n
\n The ceremony at the House of Commons celebrated independent pharmacists across the UK, and was attended by pharmaceutical executives and leading figures from the pharmacy sector.\n<\/p>\n
\n Led by pharmacist Baba Akomolafe, Christchurch Pharmacy has developed into a multidisciplinary health hub.\n<\/p>\n
\n The pharmacy combines technology, clinical expertise and teamwork to provide accessible, person-centred healthcare.\n<\/p>\n
\n The team includes three pharmacists, three accredited checking technicians, four dispensing assistants, a private GP, a healthcare practitioner and a healthcare assistant.\n<\/p>\n
\n Judges praised the pharmacy’s investment in automation, digital systems, staff training and integrated clinical services, helping it deliver care closer to patients’ homes.\n<\/p>\n
\n The pharmacy has introduced a dispensing robot, workflow software, a redesigned website and a 24-hour prescription collection point.\n<\/p>\n
\n The changes have streamlined dispensing and freed pharmacists to provide clinical services.\n<\/p>\n
\n Each month, the pharmacy provides more than 380 NHS clinical interventions.\n<\/p>\n
\n They include 250 New Medicine Service consultations, 65 hypertension case-finding consultations, 40 Pharmacy First consultations, 23 NHS contraception service consultations and regular ambulatory blood pressure monitoring clinics.\n<\/p>\n
\n Christchurch Pharmacy also developed the Community Pharmacy National Booking Service.\n<\/p>\n
\n The platform is used by pharmacies across Braintree, allowing patients to find and book NHS Pharmacy First appointments online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christchurch Pharmacy won the top award at the Independent Pharmacy Awards on Wednesday, September 30.
