2013 Scottish Pharmacy Awards - the countdown is on!

11 July 2013

The countdown is on for the 2013 Scottish Pharmacy Awards - and we want to hear from YOU! Now in their eleventh year, the awards are an opportunity to appreciate those within community pharmacy, who have excelled in their chosen fields.

Everyone knows about the great work that's being done in community pharmacy across the UK - and especially in Scotland, where CMS is providing essential lines of communication between healthcare professionals and patients.

Scottish Pharmacy Review wants everyone to know about the sterling work and fantastic initiatives that are currently being carried out in Scotland: work that the Scottish Pharmacy Awards both highlight and reward. And that's where YOU come in....

Do you know of a pharmacist who has undertaken a great new project but is hiding their light under the proverbial bushel? Why not nominate them for an award? Perhaps you're a technician who is working with a pharmacist who is very involved in the community. Why not suggest to them that they highlight their work for an award or - better still - do it for them?

Nominations and applications for this year's awards close on 19 August, so it's vital that you get scribbling now!

Categories open to application include:

- Business Development of the Year (Independent)
- Management of Skin Conditions
- Managing Substance Misuse in the Community
- Retail Category Management
- Pharmacy Manager of the Year (Independent)
- Medicines Counter Staff Training
- Pharmacy Practice of the Year
- Development of Chronic Medication Service

Application forms can be obtained by emailing Events Manager, Bridget McCabe on bridget.mccabe@nimedical.info or by calling her on 028 9077 5500.

Remember - if you're not in, you can't win!
