Andrew Lowey

Andrew Robert Lowey, born February 13th 1977, is a pharmacist, currently working within the Quality Assurance department of Leeds Teaching Hospitals, which employs a staff of approximately 14,000 in 8 locations across the greater metropolis of Leeds, England. The combined facility treats over a million patients per year.

Lowey was a winner of the Pharmaceutical Care Awards in 2002. The awards are sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline and The Pharmaceutical Journal and are held yearly in London, England. The purpose of the awards is to honor and recognize those who have made significant contributions to the development of pharmaceutical services. Mr Lowey's award was received following the success of the pharmacist clinic for patients with diabetes and hypertension, which clearly indicated that pharmacists could improve patient outcomes better than other healthcare professionals

Following on from this, Lowey has received a national grant for his work with unlicensed medical products that are prepared extemporaneously, in particular the risk management of the preparation of these products in pharmacy premises.

Mr. Lowey is a graduate of the University of Bradford in West Yorkshire, UK. He is currently studying for the Doctor of Pharmacy degree with University of Bradford and is expected to graduate DPharm later this year.
