Nominations for the NHS Parliamentary Awards, which recognise the contribution of staff, partners, volunteers and the public to making the NHS a better service, close on September 1.

Members of the public as well as health and care organisations can encourage their MP to nominate teams and individuals in any of ten categories.

In 2019 there were two community pharmacy category winners. Olutayo Arikawe, of The Priory Pharmacy, won the Excellence in Health Care Award for taking pharmacy care out into her community in one for the most deprived areas in Dudley. The Excellence in Primary Care Award went to Ade Williams of Bedminster Pharmacy in Bristol for supporting a number of pioneering schemes to support the health of people in the local area

Nominations can be made by answering three questions on a simple entry form. A national shortlist will be announced on November 23, with an Awards ceremony taking place at Westminster on July 7 2021.
