The FPM President’s Medal is the highest honour FPM can bestow.
In the dynamic world of pharmaceutical medicine, landmark achievements and innovations in the specialty don’t always get the recognition they deserve. This is where the FPM President’s Medal steps in. This prestigious award recognises exceptional individuals or teams whose dedication have ignited transformative change within the field.
Making a nomination is a fantastic opportunity to give recognition to an individual or team whose contribution to pharmaceutical medicine has transformed lives, inspired others or driven change through their professionalism, commitment, creativity, and hard work.
We have deliberately kept the nature of qualifying contribution broad, and only stipulate that it be a contribution that has advanced the practice of pharmaceutical medicine.
Nominees could work within pharmaceutical medicine, including medical devices, or in another area, and they don’t have to be medical doctors.
The nomination process is simple: just let us know which individual or team you wish to nominate and outline why you think this person should receive the FPM President’s Medal.
FPM members can nominate anyone in the field whose contribution has transformed lives, inspired others or driven change!
Nominations are accepted from current FPM members. All nominations must be supported by a seconder.
Use you voice and nominate someone whose contributions have breathed life into pharmaceutical medicine. Whether they have transformed lives, inspired others, or driven change through their professionalism, commitment, creativity, and hard work, now is the time to ensure their brilliance is recognised!

Anyone, yes, anyone. This includes FPM members (all grades), non-members and non-physicians. Nominees need to have made a significant contribution to pharmaceutical medicine either over a long period of time or for a sustained and intensive short period.
The Medal is typically made to an individual, however nominations for a team will also be considered.

The Fellowship and Awards Committee will review all nominations on a case-by-case basis. Only the information submitted by the nominator will be considered and any conflicts of interest will be declared at the beginning of the review process.
The committee will judge each nomination on its individual merit, without reference to any specific criteria, with the final decision agreed by a vote. The nominated awardee will be presented to the Board for final approval.
The winners receive a medal and are invited to our annual awards ceremony for formal commendation of their achievements amongst their peers.
The medal is awarded on a one-time basis and does not carry any other privileges. The President’s Medal provides recognition within the wider pharmaceutical medical community for an individual’s valuable contribution to the field.
