The public’s chance to vote for their favourite pharmacy

Members of the public are being encouraged to nominate their favourite community pharmacy, for the Pharmacy Guild of Australia’s next Pharmacy of the Year award.

The awards are the ‘benchmark for recognising excellence in the community pharmacy industry and aim to seek out highly motivated, innovative and adaptable pharmacy businesses that strive to provide the best and most innovative healthcare to support their community’.

It will also mark the return of the traditional format for the event, with last year’s Covid-19 modified version.

Last year the awards showcased all that community pharmacies have done and continue to do during the challenging times that defined 2020 and 2021.

This year the application process has been simplified to make it easier and faster for people to nominate their favourite pharmacy.

Now anyone can nominate their favourite community pharmacy, with nominations could be made in three categories:

  • Excellence in Business management
  • Excellence in Community Engagement
  • Excellence in Professional Innovation

“These awards recognise the very best in the community pharmacy profession as it continues to innovate and develop new ways of helping to improve the health outcomes of the patients community pharmacies serve,” National President of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia Trent Twomey says.

“I encourage everyone to nominate their favourite community pharmacy, so they are in the running for this coveted award.”
