Alliance Healthcare UK and Pharmacist Support Announce three-year partnership!

The charity is thrilled to announce a transformative three-year partnership with Alliance Healthcare UK - the UK’s largest medicines wholesaler - in support of the Pharmacist Support Student Bursary Scheme.

Empowering the next generation of pharmacy professionals

The profession’s independent charity annually opens its Student Bursary Scheme to fully accredited pharmacy schools across Great Britain. This initiative provides a lifeline to 3rd year (or 4th year for those undertaking a 5-year sandwich degree) MPharm students who are facing unexpected adversity.

The scheme is designed to support outstanding students who have demonstrated exceptional qualities in overcoming ongoing adversity, and financial hardship, and have received an endorsed expectation by their university for a positive contribution to the field of pharmacy in Great Britain.

Successful applicants are awarded bursaries of either £3,000 or £5,000.

“Our collaboration with Alliance Healthcare UK marks a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to supporting future generations of pharmacists,” said Danielle Hunt, Chief Executive of Pharmacist Support. “Together, we aim to make a positive impact on the lives of these students, providing them with the resources they need to overcome challenges and pursue successful careers in pharmacy.”

“Alliance Healthcare UK shares our commitment to empowering the next generation of pharmacy professionals and this collaboration will strengthen our collective efforts to nurture talent and promote excellence in the pharmacy sector.”

By committing to a longer-term relationship, Alliance Healthcare UK becomes an integral part of our strategic vision, contributing to the development and execution of services that create lasting change within the pharmacy sector.

“This multi-year partnership allows us to plan and execute initiatives that have a sustained impact over time. It provides stability, enabling us to allocate resources more efficiently and plan for the future with confidence.”

Marie Evans, Managing Director, Alliance Healthcare UK said “We are excited to partner with Pharmacist Support on their annual Student Bursary Scheme. This partnership reflects our commitment to investing in the future of pharmacy professionals and fostering a supportive environment for aspiring talent in the field.”

We believe in the importance of investing in the education and wellbeing of aspiring pharmacists, and this partnership aligns perfectly with our values and commitment to making a positive impact on the communities we serve.

The three-year partnership signifies a long-term commitment to fostering positive change in the pharmacy sector, providing opportunities for growth and success. Pharmacist Support and Alliance Healthcare UK look forward to making a meaningful contribution to the lives of these students through the Pharmacist Support Student Bursary Scheme that opens to applicants on the 29th of January 2024.
