This year’s list of 14 awards welcomes a brand-new category, the Diversity and Inclusion Award, which looks to shine a light on vital work that is being done by pharmacy teams, organisations and individuals to challenge inequality in the sector.

The popular Above and Beyond Award has been split into two, to recognise both teams and individuals who have gone above and beyond for their patients, and for the sector, while the biannual Pharmacy Design Award returns to recognise pharmacies that have been given a face lift.

The Pre-registration Graduate of the Year Award has been renamed Trainee Pharmacist of the Year and the Business Innovation Award is back for a third year to highlight the pioneering work of pharmacy businesses and their partners.

After the success of last year’s ceremony, the fifteenth annual C+D Awards will be returning to the Intercontinental O2 Hotel in London, renowned for its Thames-side location.

C+D editor Beth Kennedy said: “After another stressful year in which community pharmacy has played a pivotal role, I hope you can join us for what will be another truly memorable event.”
