Innovative Pharmacist of the Year Award 2015 - Nominations Open

Nominations are now open for the 2015 Innovative Pharmacist of the Year Award, which was first launched in 2012 by UTS Pharmacy.  Head of UTS Pharmacy, Professor Charlie Benrimoj, said the award aims to “recognise, reward and celebrate pharmacists who are breaking away from the traditional dispensing and supply model of practice”.  AstraZeneca is again sponsoring the award by providing a $5,000 grant for the professional development of the winner. 

Last year’s winner of the award was the Queensland Pharmacist Immunisation Pilot implementation team who piloted an in-pharmacy vaccination service now being rolled out across the country.  And in 2013 Gympie  pharmacist David Dixon was honoured for his development of a pharmacy sleep management service. 

Nominations are open until 09 Oct, with the award winner to be named at the UTS Pharmacy Gala Dinner on 21 Oct 2015.
