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.

responsibilities, or mentored colleagues, your entry should demonstrate what you’ve achieved, how
