The Royal Pharmaceutical Society awards programme celebrates and acknowledges the achievements of teams and individuals within the pharmacy profession.

Our 2011 awards programme was a great success, followed by another auspicious event in 2012. We are delighted to be able to recognise pharmacy through these member only awards.

We strive to recognise those members who are involved in pharmacy and rewarding excellence and innovation to those setting the highest benchmark standards. This is a great opportunity to highlight the work that our members are doing which is improving and enhancing patient care.

In 2012, we saw the introduction of two new awards, the RPS Award for Excellence in Education, in association with the College of Pharmacy Practice as we recognise the achievements of those pharmacists working in an educational setting and the RPS Local Practice Forum Award which recognises the efforts of the excellent work our members put into their local area.

Our nine awards encompass all sectors within the profession, as well as offering the chance to enter yourself or nominate a colleague irrespective of the stage within your career as we have categories ranging from our Student of the Year Award through to our Lifetime Achievement Award.

Why enter the awards?

The awards are a great opportunity to recognise successful projects or initiatives and more importantly the proactive and innovative approach that led to their success. These are the projects which raise the benchmark in the profession and allow everyone to learn. They benefit us all and more importantly all our patients.
