Irish Pharmacy Awards
6 June 2026 – Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road, Dublin
The Irish Pharmacy Awards celebrate excellence, leadership and innovation across the profession. They offer a valuable opportunity for the industry to recognise the dedication and impact of those working on the frontline of patient care.
This year, the Awards pay tribute to community and hospital pharmacy teams who consistently go above and beyond, delivering exceptional service under demanding circumstances.
More than a celebration of achievement, these Awards are a platform for appreciation—an opportunity to shine a light on inspirational work and to say, simply, thank you.
