The day started with our Executive Director, Sarah Agnew challenging us all to stretch a curly wurly as long as possible without it breaking, there was chocolate everywhere, great fun icebreaker to kick off the day! We then had the pleasure of Paul McGee - The Sumo Guy with a fantastic motivational talk on effective communication. Sarah Agnew also gifted us all with one of Paul’s fantastic publications to read. We had a great HR update session with Greg Gane Assoc CIPD who guided us through the current and futures changes affecting us as an employer & as employees since the changes in government, when to expect changes and how to plan for them. In the afternoon we all came together to look back over the last year, look at what we achieved and review areas that we want to develop & continue to improve in whilst discussing strategies for the coming year.

They also had some fantastic Interactive Games: You could test your pharmacy knowledge with quizzes, word searches, and trivia and be in with a chance to win fun prizes!
