10 years of excellence

The Recognition of Excellence (RoE) Awards are back!

We are once again delighted to welcome our finalists, judges, sponsors and honoured guests to celebrate the wonderful work of pharmacy support staff across the UK. This time, the event is taking place in the House of Lords, set against a beautiful backdrop of the River Thames, right in the heart of central London. 

For 2023, we received a record number of individual nominations alone with over 115 inspiring nominees from all four corners of the UK. As you’ll see in our July issue, which will highlight the work of our finalists, the standard of entries and nominations was extraordinary, a real challenge to judge for our esteemed panel!

You’ll have to wait until 30 June to find out who took home the top prizes, but for now read on for our categories and finalists, what our judges had to say and more about our inspiring guest speaker, Anthony Bennett.
