It’s January and at Training Matters (TM) HQ that means one thing: the Recognition of Excellence Awards are back and open for nominations.

The RoE Awards – the only national awards exclusively for community pharmacy support staff – focus on rewarding hard-working and dedicated individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty to support their customers, patients, pharmacies and communities.

After a year unlike any other in community pharmacy, there are countless examples of frontline community pharmacy teams going to great new lengths to make a difference. But there has also been inspirational work achieved outside of the pandemic and this is worth shouting about and celebrating too.

In addition to the traditional individual categories, TM has launched a brand new Pharmacy Team of the Year Award for 2021 – due to popular demand – to recognise the incredible joint efforts and team spirit that are so often the backbone of successful and supportive community pharmacies.

TM's aim is to return to RoE’s roots and hold an Awards ceremony at a stunning central London location in September, Government restrictions permitting, giving the finalists the opportunity to celebrate in style. And, as ever, fabulous prizes will be up for grabs too.

So, if you're proud of what individuals in your team have achieved over the last 12 months, or if you think your whole team deserves recognition for their amazing work, we want to hear their stories.

Click here to nominate them now!
