Past winners
Purpose and criteria
This award recognizes a specific project, protocol, process, or initiative of importance to hospital pharmacy practice that was implemented in a hospital or healthcare facility. Programs or initiatives may involve departments from outside of pharmacy, such as interprofessional clinics (e.g., family care teams).
This award is granted to an individual or team that has successfully guided a group of pharmacy professionals to a higher, sustained level of performance. New in 2022: Given the rise in extreme weather events (and their consequent health impacts), submissions related to climate change may be given special consideration.
The project, protocol, process, or initiative described in the application must illustrate leadership in one or more the following ways:
- Inspiring a shared higher purpose and vision of pharmacy practice
- Leading with care, tending to the emotional well-being of others
- Respecting and encouraging diverse perspectives
- Encouraging creativity, innovation, resourcefulness, and accountability
- Forging strong, strategic relationships with stakeholders
- Exhibiting a commitment to high standards of integrity and responsibility in their work
- Actively listening to input from team members
- Other related qualities that may be considered during the selection process
Eligibility
This award is open to current Members and Individual Supporters of CSHP (including Pharmacists or Pharmacy Graduates, Pharmacy Technicians, Supporters, and Students) who have held membership since September 30, 2021. In the event of a team nomination, at least one team-member must meet eligibility requirements. Only one award will be granted in a given year; if there are no qualified candidates, the award will not be given.
About the award
The award will be presented in-person at the Together 2023 conference in Banff, Alberta. All award winners will receive a personalized framed certificate. One winner will receive complimentary conference registration and travel and accommodation to attend the event.
