A BASINGSTOKE pharmacy manager has been nationally recognised at a set on industry awards.

Daisy Hill, who works at Paydens Pharmacy in Brighton Hill Parade, has won The Clinical Services Star at the Recognition of Excellence (RoE) Awards last month.

Daisy’s nominator said “her enthusiasm is infectious and her contribution amazing”.

Monica West, the editor of Training Matters and host of the event, summed up the evening: “This event is so special because it raises up the voices of frontline healthcare workers who do amazing things every day. This group are always so humble and blown away by the fact someone wants to applaud them for ‘just doing their job’.

“We think this is exceptionally important, especially given the more onus being put on pharmacy teams year on year as key healthcare providers. Our winners put their communities before themselves, save lives and make a real difference every single day – we think that’s something to shout about."
