Applications for the 2000 Pharmaceutical Care Awards, which recognise excellence
in the development of pharmaceutical services, will be invited early in January,
2001. Eligible entries must relate to initiatives begun during 2000. Pharmacists
who are considering applying for a Pharmaceutical Care Award should therefore
be thinking about their projects now.
As usual, the awards will be given in three categories: hospital care, community
care and shared care. Shared care entries require the active participation of
professionals in both the hospital and community setting. There will be a runner-up
in each category.
Pharmacists may enter singly or in small groups. Co-operative efforts involving
other professions are eligible, but pharmacists should play a leading role in
them. Entries from overseas will be welcome.
