A Fellowship is the highest and most prestigious honour awarded by the APS to members each year in recognition of their contribution to the Academy and their accomplishment and impact in any sector of the pharmaceutical sciences. Recipients of the 2022 APS fellowship(s) will be recognised at the conference dinner (8th September) at the APS PharmSci conference in Belfast.

A Fellow is an active member of the APS who has provided service to the scientific community, made a significant and distinct contribution to the APS and has had clear impact in pharmaceutical science.

Upon award of a Fellowship, a Fellow will

  • receive recognition from their peers for their excellent achievements in the profession and the field of pharmaceutical science.
  • be able to use the post-nominal letters, FAPS.
  • have opportunities to network with other Fellows, enabling the formation of new collaborations and partnerships.

Following award of a fellowship, the honoured individual is expected to continue to be part of the diverse community of Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences (APS) fellows who actively contribute to and support the APS, the wider pharmaceutical science community and emerging pharmaceutical scientists.

 

In addition, a Fellow is expected to

 

  • advocate on behalf of the APS and the pharmaceutical science community and by doing so strengthen the voice of the academy and support the future of pharmaceutical science.

 

  • be inspirational by acting as a role model, and where appropriate a mentor, for the pharmaceutical science community, and in particular the next generation of pharmaceutical scientists, enabling them to develop the experience and expertise they need to become future leaders.

"Across the broad spectrum of its activities, APS provides a unique hub for pharmaceutical scientists in the UK to connect, learn and contribute. The award of a prestigious APS Fellowship is wonderful recognition for any pharmaceutical scientist, while providing an independent and rigorous endorsement by the UK’s pharmaceutical science community for the awardee’s contribution to the field. It is a great honour to be a recipient. I hope that, through my continued involvement with the APS Nanomedicine Focus Group, I am able to give back to the community by furthering scientific knowledge, shaping policy and promoting careers"
