Do you know a colleague who regularly goes above and beyond? Perhaps someone in your pharmacy is a fearless leader and a constant source of mentorship for those newer to the practice?
They deserve to be recognized.
Celebrate with us at our in-person Awards Gala & Dinner, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency, Vancouver on May 31, 2024.
Here is what you should know about the 2024 BC Pharmacy Excellence Awards:
1. Nominations are now open.
You have until March 31, 2024 to submit your nomination. Nomination packages can be completed online. This year, we've simplified the process by incorporating all necessary information into a single form. In case you encounter any challenges while submitting the form, please send your nomination via email to awards@bcpharmacy.ca.
*Please note that only BCPhA members are eligible to win an award.
2. Recipients of an award should be prepared to make themselves available to be photographed and interviewed on video, and are expected to attend the in-person event to receive the award.
3. Anyone can submit a nomination, whether you’re a fellow pharmacist, student, colleague, patient or community member.
You can nominate someone as long as they are a pharmacist and a member of the BC Pharmacy Association, except in the case of the Friend of Pharmacy Award, in which the individual does not have to be a member of the Association and must not be a practicing pharmacist.
