The JPA Brenson Lawlor Young Community Pharmacist of the Year Award recognises rising talent – those individuals who despite being in the early stages of their pharmacy careers are already demonstrating that they can make a difference to the pharmacy profession and the companies for whom they work and the communities they serve.

This award is open to pharmacists aged up to 30 – at the date of entry submission – who are working within any pharmacy, multiple or independent, where their involvement has been greater than six months.

It is the individual qualities that will be evaluated, rather than those of any of the projects worked on.

Account will be taken of:

• Judges will want to see effective communication skills with both staff and customers.
• Demonstration of a commitment to mentoring or other leadership activities
• Operation within their own pharmacy liaising with key staff members and management and developing key communication skills
• A dedication and commitment to furthering the profession into the future
