Three days left to enter C+D’s new Locum of the Year Award
There are just three days left for locum pharmacists and pharmacy staff to enter C+D’s Locum of the Year Award.
Entries for the award – introduced for 2019 – close on Friday (February 22), with the shortlist announced in April.
Announcing the new award category in November, C+D editor James Waldron said: “Locums are the secret weapon of many a pharmacy, called upon to provide emergency cover or to act as a semi-permanent part of the team. And yet their vital role rarely receives the national recognition it deserves.
“For this award, C+D wants to draw attention to the incredible work being done by locum pharmacists and pharmacy staff across the UK.”
For its twelfth annual ceremony, the C+D Awards will be moving to the Intercontinental O2 Hotel in London, renowned for its Thames-side location and dazzling views of Canary Wharf.
Who can enter the Locum of the Year Award?
Any pharmacist or pharmacy staff member who primarily works as a locum in the community pharmacy sector can enter.
Please note that this award is for locums who want to demonstrate a pattern of award-winning behaviour across their shifts. If you have a specific story of exceptional patient care that you want to shout about, then please enter the Above and Beyond Award instead.
