Who can enter
Entries are open to pharmacists, PCN teams, GPs, nurses, practice managers, reception teams and other primary care staff. Entrants can nominate themselves, a colleague or a team, and may enter more than one category.
This could include a colleague who has gone above and beyond for their patients, a team that has made a real difference to patient care, or a project that has had a clear impact on services or outcomes.
Entering is a chance to give excellent work the recognition it deserves and share good practice with the wider primary care community. Although the deadline is close, there is still time to put together a strong entry.
Supplier categories
The awards also recognise suppliers working in general practice. Categories cover AI and digital solutions, pharmacy, professional services, and recruitment and staffing. If your company supports general practice and you have not yet entered, this is the final opportunity to do so.
How to enter
The Entry Submission Guide explains what applicants will be asked in the online form, including character limits and tips on what to include. Entries do not need to be lengthy to be considered, so do not let that hold you back.
