As part of our ongoing commitment to the sector, NPAI was delighted to sponsor the Commitment to Health and Wellbeing Award—recognising pharmacies that are making a meaningful, measurable difference to the health of their communities.


Recognising Outstanding Community Impact

The award was presented by Lisa Banks, Managing Director of Pharmacy Insurance, to a truly deserving winner—Bannside Pharmacy.

Led by Eoghan O’Brien, the team at Bannside Pharmacy were recognised for their innovative, data-led approach to supporting long-term health and wellbeing. Their work stood out for:

  • Expanding clinical and lifestyle services

  • Delivering personalised, community-focused care

  • Demonstrating measurable improvements in patient wellbeing

Their approach is a powerful example of how community pharmacy continues to evolve—playing a vital role not just in dispensing, but in prevention, early intervention, and ongoing care.

The evening brought together pharmacy professionals from across Northern Ireland, shining a spotlight on the incredible work being delivered every day in local communities.

Our Chief Executive, Henry Gregg, attended alongside members of our leadership and regional teams, reinforcing our support for the sector and the people driving it forward.

It was an inspiring evening—celebrating innovation, dedication, and the positive impact community pharmacy teams have on patients’ lives.

We’re proud to stand alongside pharmacy teams as they continue to deliver essential care, adapt to new challenges, and improve health outcomes in their communities.
