About ESCP Fellowship

ESCP Fellowship is awarded in recognition of continued excellence in clinical pharmacy practice and/or research. Nominees must have been a full member of ESCP for at least 5 years; must have been in practice for at least 5 years since receipt of their highest professional pharmacy degree; and must have made a substantial and sustained contribution to ESCP through activities such as presentation at conferences/symposia/meetings; service to ESCP committees, SIGs, or publications; or election as an officer. Current General Committee (GC) members, however, are not eligible. Full details can be read below.

Fellowship nomination procedure

Fellowship candidates must be cast by two Full Members or any Fellow, GC member or any RESC chair. A nominating committee consisting of GC members will then propose eligible colleagues for decision within the GC. The selected Fellows will be awarded during ESCP’s fall symposia. The nominations and outcome of the procedure are confidential, they are not open to discussion. The deadline for a nomination in any year is communicated to the members by email.
