Revealed: C+D Awards 2026 – the shortlist is now live!

C+D is delighted to reveal the shortlist for the C+D Awards 2026, which will take place on Thursday, September 10, at the London Hilton on Park Lane. 

After adding three new categories this year, taking the total to 15, we were thrilled to see a record number of entries this year, with the total number leaping by 44% on the year before. 

The number 44, incidentally, is considered by numerologists to be a ‘master number’ associated with building, stability, discipline, and turning ambitious ideas into reality. It’s a perfect match for community pharmacy in 2026. 

Double 

Two of our categories – Community Pharmacist of the Year and Pharmacy Team of the Year – attracted so many entries we allowed two winners in each to reflect the volume of deserving entries. But across all categories the entries are testament to your success, despite fierce obstacles and high hurdles. 

Across all 15 categories there is a vibrant display of over-performance, of individual achievement and team success, all representing a sector prepared for more primary care. 

For those who entered this year, we salute you, our panel of judges were (as you might expect from this sector) rigorous, forensic and clear-eyed. 

That record number of entries raised the bar to a steep level. Brilliance was on display. Hard decisions were made. 

If you entered and have made the shortlist, congratulations! If you're thinking of sponsoring, we have just four categories left, so there's still time to put your brand alongside the C+D awards. The winners will be announced at the awards on Thursday 10 September at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
