Inspiring the next generation of pharmacy technicians
In December 2021 we invited Pharmacy Technicians to get involved with an exciting project being run by the Science Museum: the creation of a permanent gallery space to celebrate technical roles.
Technicians:The David Sainsbury Gallery, opened in early November 2022 and is a free interactive gallery aiming to bring to life the often hidden yet vital role of the technician across a wide variety of different workplaces, from a blockbuster film set to pharmaceutical labs.
We are delighted to share with you that a pharmacy technician from the Royal Papworth NHS Foundation trust, Francesca l’Anson, features in the Science Museum gallery which puts particular focus on the role of pharmacy technicians. The story is also published on the Royal Papworth Hospital website - https://royalpapworth.nhs.uk/our-hospital/latest-news/pharmacy-technician-recognised-science-museum.
Technicians: The David Sainsbury Gallery at the Science Museum, is open daily from 10:00 – 18:00.
