A partnership between pharmacy teams in the Western and Northern Trust have been awarded at the Northern Ireland Healthcare Awards in Belfast.
They were honoured for excellent practice in older people's medicine.
The teams got to share the honours in the Hospital Pharmacy Team of the Year Award category.
Both trusts have been working together since 2015. Their Medicines Optimisation in Older People Pharmacy teams have been working on refining and changing new consultant pharmacist led models of pharmaceutical care for patients living in care homes and admitted to community hospitals.
They are trying to change the shape of how older people's medicines management is delivered across Northern Ireland.
