APTUK 2025 Pharmacy Technician Awards

The APTUK Annual Pharmacy Technician Awards are a highlight of the conference and provide an opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge successful individuals, teams and projects within the pharmacy technician profession. 

We are delighted to be able to recognise all sectors of pharmacy practice and individual excellence through these awards which have been updated this year to reflect the Four Pillars of Advanced Pharmacy Practice as well as equality, diversity and inclusion. So, as well as the Pharmacy Technician Team and Pre-registration Pharmacy Technician of the Year awards, we have several new awards to celebrate pharmacy technician successes.

The award categories for APTUK 2025 are:

• The APTUK Pharmacy Technician Team of the Year Award focuses on the pivotal role that outstanding teams of pharmacy technicians have on influencing positive person-centred patient care. This can be through innovation, service development or research
• The APTUK Pre-registration Trainee Pharmacy Technician of the Year Award acknowledges the commitment, dedication and achievement of Pre-Registration Trainee Pharmacy Technicians. The award will be made to a trainee who, in the opinion of the judges, demonstrates outstanding effort and commitment.  
• The APTUK Excellence in Pharmacy Education Award recognises an outstanding pharmacy technician, team or project that has made a significant contribution to education, training and development of pharmacy technicians or pharmacy teams in the UK.
