Here is a statement from Jackie about her award:

‘It is just great and humbling to be recognised for many years of progress in the area of cancer care in community pharmacy.  I am delighted to showcase the early diagnosis project Not Normal For You? and the upcoming e-learning Let’s Communicate Cancer, both free and for the whole pharmacy team.  It is my hope that these projects will enable earlier diagnosis of cancer, a prevalent issue with the coronavirus situation, and improve underpinning knowledge of pharmacy teams to support their patients in the cancer pathway.’

 

Watch out for the incredible ‘Lets Communicate Cancer’ eLearning coming to the BOPA website in April 2021 – https://www.bopa.org.uk/lessons/showreel/
