PrescQIPP Annual Awards 2026

PrescQIPP is a not for profit company funded by the NHS for the NHS. We produce a huge range of evidence based resources and practical implementation tools to help clinicians improve patient care.

If you have been working on a project and would like recognition for you and your team’s hard work and to share what you have done with others, why not enter the 2026 PrescQIPP Annual awards and be in with a chance of winning a prestigious PrescQIPP award.  

Our five award categories for 2026 align with current NHS priorities –

• Addressing health inequalities
• Care homes/domiciliary care/carer medicines optimisation
• Data tools and technology to support medicines optimisation
• Enhanced productivity, sustainability and value for money
• Patient safety and addressing overprescribing

The 2026 Annual Awards webpage has lots of FAQs to help you with your entry.

Top tips for entering

• Refer to the judging criteria to help you write your entry.
• Have a look at some previous winners projects to see what sort of information they included.
• The entry form is the main element that your project will be judged on. Attachments can help to support your entry, but please ensure that any key information is included on the entry form.
• The ‘Patient safety and addressing overprescribing’ category is often popular. If you’re considering entering in this category, think about whether your project is a good fit for any of the other categories. It is of course up to you where you think your project fits best, but please note that each project can only be entered into one category.
