In association with Buttercups Training and the Dispensing Doctor's Association

Claim the recognition you deserve!

AAH Dispensing Doctors Service, in association with Buttercups Training and the Dispensing Doctors' Association, is proud to be sponsoring the Dispenser of the Year Awards for the third year running.

These awards aim to celebrate the contribution of Dispensary Assistants and Dispensary Technicians across the UK. Day-in and day-out, these dedicated professionals provide their expertise to the local community, offering exceptional value to their practice and outstanding service to their patients. We believe this valuable contribution should be celebrated! The winners of the awards represent the highest standards of professional excellence, knowledge and service. They receive a generous package that includes:

  • Technical Certificate in Pharmacy Services or £500 worth of Buttercups training vouchers
  • An engraved trophy
  • A framed certificate
  • Accommodation for you and a guest at the DDA Gala Dinner

Most importantly, winners receive the acknowledgement and recognition of their peers when they are presented with their award at the DDA Gala Dinner. Do you feel that your contribution deserves to be recognised or perhaps a colleague shows exceptional commitment and regularly performs above and beyond the call of duty? Entering is easy so why not enter yourself or encourage a colleague to enter today?

The closing date is 30th September 2010. Good luck!
