Pharmacy Passion Competition

Our tagline at Pharmangelist Limited is ‘we are passionate about pharmacy’. It therefore comes as no surprise that our inaugural AGM held on the 4th of February adopted that line as the theme. Different presenters explained and demonstrated what it means to be passionate about something. We are proud to say that we are the embodiment of that passion for our great profession. However we are not just madly passionate about our profession. Our passion has a clear head and is driven by a clear vision, courage and determination. Guess what? We are acquiring results along the way. We have doubled our size in a short space of time and gaining the confidence of more of our colleagues along the way. So when Jaggy does this:







You know his passion is founded on results and vision. To cut a long story short, we are unveiling a competition. This competition is sponsored by www.bookapharmacist.com and is open only to Pre-registration Pharmacists and Final year Pharmacy students in the UK.
