Pharmacy Team of the Year
A pharmacy’s biggest asset is its staff – its pharmacy team. And a good pharmacy team is greater
than the sum of its parts, with every member using their individual talents to contribute to the
group’s overall objective – great patient care. Tell us how your team puts your pharmacy or
pharmacies at the heart of the community/ies it serves, how it has overcome obstacles by working
together and how it has used individual skills and strengths to create an even more powerful whole
– all to the benefit of patients.

Community Pharmacist of the Year
A great community pharmacist has many strings to his or her bow. Whether you are a branch
manager, run your own pharmacy, or act as superintendent, you strive to be the best. You are a
leader in your field, combining the day-to-day running of your pharmacy or pharmacies with cutting
edge practice, be it clinical, business or management. Tell us how you have maximised delivery of
your contract, developed clinical services and built links with patients and peers. An all-rounder who
doesn’t compromise one aspect of the job for another, you should be able to show how you have
engaged the whole pharmacy team to help your patients.

Pharmacy technician may be the new professional title on the healthcare block, but the role is
rapidly expanding – and this is your chance to show how you are making a difference to your
patients. With an eye for detail, an ability to multitask and a willingness to go the extra mile, the
winner of this award will make everything tick in their pharmacy. Whether you have improved safety
or efficiency in the dispensing process, taken on delivery of clinical services or management
responsibilities, or mentored colleagues, your entry should demonstrate what you’ve achieved, how
you did it, and the measures of success.
