Winner’s story: Emily Bond, GP or PCN pharmacist of the Year

As the deadline for the C+D Awards approaches, Emily Bond, who was awarded GP or PCN pharmacist of the Year in 2025, explains what motivated her to enter the awards, and how it felt to win.

Emily Bond was one of the winners at last year’s C+D Awards, after collecting the award for GP or PCN pharmacist of the year.

The clinical prescribing pharmacist explains why she took the time to enter, and why it felt so rewarding, saying “the experience of jotting everything down, what you’ve achieved, what you’ve contributed, is a worthwhile exercise in itself” .
