Community Pharmacist of the Year is always one of our most hotly contested categories but this year it surpassed everything that came before. We were overwhelmed by the sheer number of entries, and by the calibre of the pharmacists behind them: dedicated professionals going above and beyond for their patients and communities every single day.
The standard was so exceptional that narrowing the field was one of the hardest tasks our judges have faced. After much deliberation, we've shortlisted the following outstanding individuals and with so much talent on show, we're thrilled to announce that this year the category will crown two winners.
Congratulations to every shortlisted pharmacist. Making this list is an achievement in itself, and you should be enormously proud. The two winners will be revealed at the C+D Awards ceremony on Thursday, September 10.
