BOPA ‘Above & Beyond’ Award – nominations OPEN for 2025!

The ‘Above and Beyond’ Award is to celebrate those achievements of BOPA members that often go unnoticed. We want to celebrate colleagues who deserve recognition for how hard they work for patients and colleagues and invite you all to give us your nominations.

Why you decide to nominate is really up to you. You may want to acknowledge a colleague who has implemented an innovative project; you may work with someone who is an exceptional team player; there maybe someone in your team who you consider a fantastic role model. We encourage creativity, and nominations can be made for either an individual colleague, or for a team. This is your opportunity to showcase the work of your hardworking pharmacy colleagues, and tell BOPA all about them.

To nominate and for further information please complete the following form, providing up to 500 words to outline why your nomination should be considered for the ‘Above and Beyond’ Award. We look forward to reading all about them.

Deadline for this years ‘Above and beyond’ Nomination:  31st July 2025

The ‘Above & Beyond’ Award will be presented at our awards ceremony on the Saturday evening of our BOPA Conference in Belfast in October.
