The deadline is August 11. Did we also mention they’re free to enter?


In recognition of the incredible efforts and dedication of community pharmacists and their teams during these unprecedented times, C+D has launched two new award categories to celebrate the sector’s COVID HEROES.

Did you or your team go beyond the call of duty to serve your community during what has been a challenging and extraordinary year? What better way to showcase your commitment to your patients and reflect on your accomplishments than by winning a C+D COVID HERO award? You can also nominate a deserving individual or team.

These two new award categories are in addition to the 14 existing categories for the C+D Awards 2021. The deadline to enter has been extended to Friday November 13th 2020.


The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on us all. In the wake of challenges presented, community pharmacies have had to find unique ways to remain open, operate effectively and continue to deliver excellent patient care.

To help support community pharmacy, our C+D Awards 2020 sponsors have had to adapt their own services. Below are some of the best examples of how they have collaborated, innovated and gone out of their way to provide the tools and resources needed by community pharmacy during the pandemic.

Above and Beyond Award

This unique award is a chance to celebrate the individual stories of pharmacists and pharmacy staff going above and beyond for their patients, and for the sector. Tell us about a time when you or your team went beyond the call of duty to help patients – from life-saving interventions to charity work and everything in between. The winning story will be voted for by C+D readers.

Unlike other C+D Awards, this isn’t about assessing an individual’s career or an entire project. Instead, this is about one specific event that allowed you or a colleague to shine. 

It is open to any pharmacist or pharmacy staff member who has a story they think stands out. While this category is about a single experience that occurred, it’s fine to provide some background context, and also explain the consequences of your story. For example, if your tale of going above and beyond involved making a patient intervention, you may want to provide some background about how you know the patient, as well as how the patient is doing now. But if you find yourself writing about your or your pharmacy’s achievements more generally, then stop – you should be entering one of the other 13 C+D Awards categories instead.

If the story you want to submit involves a colleague rather than yourself, it’s fine for you to enter on their behalf. However, you must ensure you have checked all the facts with them, and be aware that they will receive the complimentary ticket to the Awards ceremony if they make the shortlist.
