Entnommen aus dem Daily Dose vom 13.3.2025 des EAHP-Kongresses 2024 in Kopenhagen:
The 2025 Board of Directors Professional Excellence Award from the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) was presented to Dr. Helena Jenzer, recognising her outstanding contributions to the hospital pharmacy profession in Europe and to the growth of EAHP.
Dr. Jenzer holds a doctorate in Pharmaceutical Sciences and has had a distinguished career in hospital pharmacy. She began as head of the quality control laboratory at Inselspital pharmacy (Bern), where she also served as deputy head pharmacist until 1996. She then became head pharmacist at Fribourg Hospital for 10 years. After a brief time in the pharmaceutical industry, Dr. Jenzer returned to Inselspital as head of manufacturing from 2007 to 2010. Since 2011, she has been a professor at Berner Fachhochschule and the head pharmacist at the Psychiatrischen Universitätsklinik Zürich. Dr. Jenzer’s career is built on her work in analytics, pharmacotechnics, education, and scientific research. One of her key achievements was developing an injectable paracetamol solution in the 2000s at Fribourg Hospital, when only the original formulation was available in Switzerland. Many students have also benefitted from her mentorship, with numerous individuals completing their diplomas and bachelors’ theses under her guidance at Berner Fachhochschule.
Helena Jenzer has been deeply involved in professional associations. Early in her career, she worked with GSASA, taking on roles such as a member of the analytical working group, a GSASA delegate to national societies, and head of the information systems sector. She also served as GSASA Administration Manager and played a key role in creating the society’s first website.
In addition to her work with GSASA, Dr. Jenzer has been an active member of the EAHP for over 10 years.
As a member of the EAHP Scientific Committee, she has developed and moderated training sessions at EAHP
Congresses and Academy seminars.
She has also contributed to the COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) project on drug shortages and chaired the EAHP Special Interest Group on Eliminating Avoidable Harm.
Dr. Jenzer’s dedication to advancing hospital pharmacy and improving patient care has had a lasting impact
on the profession.
