WHY ENTER?

It is arguably the world’s most oft-repeated management adage: a business’s biggest asset is its people. Pharmacy businesses are no different, and the finest support their pharmacists and pharmacy teams to be the best they can.

Perhaps you’ve developed an innovative training programme to upskill your team(s)? Maybe you’ve introduced an initiative to celebrate your best-performers that has led to an increase in productivity? Or are you a trainee pharmacist tutor who has found new ways to inspire and motivate their trainees to reach their full potential? The judges will want to see how you have put your people and their skills at the heart of what you do and the impact this has had on the business and your patients.

WHO CAN ENTER?

Any individual or team working for or on behalf of a community pharmacy business. Please note that each entry must be specifically tailored to the relevant criteria and the same/similar entry cannot be submitted for two categories.
