CALL FOR ENTRY AND NOMINATION
Through this award HCPC Europe seek to acknowledge creative solutions that help improve patients’ lives, for example by helping them to adhere to their medicinal therapies.
This Award is presented in two categories:
- Commercially available products
- Concepts for new packs
We also welcome Nominations of commercially available drug products from individuals, organisations and groups. Pack entries and nominations should improve patients’ lives by using innovative design or features which help patients to take the right dose of the right drug at the right time for the whole duration of their therapy. Submissions will be judged on the impact of the overall pack design on patients’ lives and lifestyle. Of particular importance are pack features that aid patients in adhering to their medication regimen, as well as the longer-term adherence and persistence aspects. In addition, features that help the patient to live within their normal lifestyle are encouraged, e.g. easy access, portability, ergonomic design etc.
The finalists will be notified by the end of October 2018 and will be invited to show their pack at and its story during the Award Dinner in combination with the HCPC Europe General Assembly.
Entries, including pack samples and photos, should be sent directly to HCPC Europe before 1 October 2018. Please submit by using this entry form.
Individuals, organisations, groups and/or companies may apply – there is no fee required to participate in this award. Join previous winners such as Abbott, Daiichi-Sankyo, UCB, Novartis, Pfizer and AstraZeneca!
