The wait is almost over. We are delighted to recognise the outstanding finalists in the Pharmacy Business Awards 2026.
The winners will be announced on Friday 2 October at the Pharmacy Business Awards ceremony in Westminster, London.
This year's entries have set a new standard, across a wide range of categories. From community pharmacists expanding clinical care, to excellence in hospital pharmacy, and the innovation of the industry partners who support them, our finalists show how much pharmacy teams do for patients and communities every day.
The Pharmacy Business Awards celebrate the pharmacists, pharmacy teams and industry partners who are pushing the boundaries for the sector and showcase the very best of UK pharmacy.
Reaching the list of finalists is an achievement in itself. Pharmacy Business congratulates every finalist in the list for 2026, and thanks everyone who entered to put themselves up for the judging process.
We can't wait to celebrate with those reaching the shortlist this year.
Look out for an announcement of the winners, and very shortly, for details of how to enter for next year’s awards. By sharing your innovation, achievements and the results of your hard work, you and your colleagues could be part of this list next year.
Good luck to all of our finalists!
