WHY ENTER?
The face of community pharmacy has been transformed in recent years. No longer simply a dispensing service, pharmacy has embraced technology, integration and innovation in a bid to become the highly accessible first port of call for primary healthcare.
You may have introduced new technology to your pharmacy that has helped to deliver better outcomes for your patients. Or, perhaps you have introduced a new business model or online business initiatives, which have not only raised your pharmacy’s profile, but which have facilitated an improved level of service to your patients?
WHO CAN ENTER?
This award is open to all pharmacists and their teams, who have embraced new and innovative systems or technology, which have improved the delivery of pharmaceutical care, promoted patient safety, and improved efficiency.
All entries will be judged by an independent panel of experts, who will be looking for:
· Activities that may involve pioneering new technology/eHealth models or systems, news business models, or innovative ways of working, which will reinforce pharmacists’ impact as members of the healthcare team in general, and which will improve patient safety and outcomes in particular
· Evidence of the development of a system or a tool that can be used in community pharmacy, which will directly impact patient care and will provide a template for use throughout the profession.
· Statistical evidence of any added value, benefit, or productivity increase created by the adoption of the new system or tool. Where possible, financial data should also be provided, such as percentages, ratios and graphic images, to back up evidence of improved patient outcomes.
