Reflecting on the award, Marie Evans, Managing Director and SVP said: "This is a wonderful recognition of all the teams hard work and commitment. This award from the pharmacy industry demonstrates our progress in listening to our customers to deliver the service that they deserve."

Paula soon returned to the stage to present the Enterprise Award, sponsored by Alliance Healthcare, recognising the pharmacy with the most enterprising venture in any area of pharmacy.

The winner was Muhammad Shuaib of Biddulph Pharmacy: Innovation and thinking outside the box are the winner's forte, which they demonstrated by identifying local healthcare gaps and developing practical, innovative solutions. When the nearby town had no Sunday pharmacy provision despite a minor injuries unit and out-of-hours prescribing, he partnered with a taxi firm to run a free shuttle service.

Congratulations to all the award winners on the night.
