The Clinical Pharmacy Congress Awards

Clinical pharmacy continues to play a critical role in improving patient outcomes, supporting healthcare systems and responding to evolving clinical challenges. The CPC Awards exist to highlight this impact and to recognise those leading change across the profession.

Winning or being shortlisted for a CPC Award offers national recognition, professional credibility and visibility among senior pharmacy leaders, NHS organisations and healthcare decision makers.

The awards also help to share learning across the sector by spotlighting initiatives that can be replicated, scaled or adapted to improve care in other settings.
