🎓💚 Celebrating 20 Years of Pharmacy Technician Education at TUS! 💊✨

A very special milestone for the Pharmacy Technician Programme at Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), Athlone Campus, as we proudly celebrate 20 years of pharmacy technician education, alongside the exciting launch of our new Level 8 Pharmacy Technician programme! 🎉

This occasion marks two decades of dedication to excellence in pharmacy education, preparing graduates with the knowledge, skills and professionalism to make a meaningful contribution to healthcare.

It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate alongside the Pharmacy Technician team, TUS President Professor Vincent Cunnane, Dr. Don Faller, Dr. Carmel Kealey and Nicola Ryan MPSI, recognising the achievements of the programme and those who have contributed to its success over the years.

💚 20 years of education, achievement and innovation and an exciting new chapter begins!

We look forward to continuing to inspire and educate the next generation of pharmacy professionals.

Here's to the next 20 years! 🎓💊
