Here at www.pharmascholar.co.uk, we are delighted to highlight the 2025 round of the June Crown Award!!
The Association for Prescribers (AfP) has unveiled the prestigious June Crown Award, marking a significant milestone for those dedicated to advancing healthcare through non-medical prescribing (NMP). Named in honour of Professor June Crown, whose ground-breaking contributions in 1996 paved the way for major healthcare policy shifts, the award recognises outstanding commitment and innovation in prescribing practice. This accolade not only celebrates personal achievement but also serves as a beacon of inspiration for professionals across the healthcare sector.

We feel that the award package is both impressive and encouraging. Recipients can expect a monetary prize of £1,000 along with the unique opportunity to present their achievements at the following year’s AfP conference. Additionally, winners are invited to publish an article in the respected peer-reviewed Journal of Prescribing Practice, further cementing their status as leaders within the field of healthcare innovation. This multi-faceted recognition highlights the value of professional development and encourages practitioners to continually refine their skills and broaden their impact within the community setting.

Importantly, we would like to flag that the nomination process for the June Crown Award is designed to be inclusive and transparent. Eligible candidates include current members of the AfP, with both self-nomination and peer nomination options being widely accepted. Key criteria for consideration include demonstrable influence on prescribing practices and noteworthy contributions to prescriber recognition on a national scale. This process not only promotes healthy competition but also reinforces the importance of excellence in clinical practice and award nomination efforts throughout the UK.
Membership in the AfP is highly regarded among healthcare professionals and of course www.pharmascholar.co.uk. It is clear that the introduction of the June Crown Award further solidifies the organisation’s role in fostering a community of excellence. Those interested in advancing their careers and contributing to AfP membership benefits are encouraged to explore new ways of achieving prescribing excellence; which we can support with our NMP service offering.
Further to discussion with peers in the field, we believe that this award is more than just a trophy, it is a testament to the ongoing commitment to quality patient care and the drive for sustained improvement. By recognising efforts in healthcare leadership, the initiative underscores the importance of continual innovation and the critical role of prescribers in shaping modern healthcare practices.
In today’s rapidly evolving medical landscape, continuing education and mentorship are more important than ever. For anyone considering next steps in their prescribing career or looking to enhance their skills, you are more than welcome to contact our Lead Tutor, Dr Davies, and book your bespoke training appointments (i.e. we can help with your Non-Medical Prescribing Course, Independent Prescribing Course or Supplementary Prescribing Course).
