Nuumad’s Industry Recognition Reflects a New Standard in Pharmacy Tech
Written by Nuumad
Published on 12th August 2026How does a pharmacy technology company stand out in a rapidly evolving pharmacy healthcare landscape? Increasingly, it’s the ability to help pharmacies deliver safer, faster and more efficient patient care while supporting clinical excellence. But industry recognition is also important.
Nominations and shortlist placements acknowledge more than innovation alone, they recognise businesses that are solving real challenges for pharmacists and delivering measurable impact. For pharmacy owners and their teams evaluating platforms, these accolades provide valuable reassurance that a technology partner is trusted, scalable, robust and making a difference across the sector.
Nuumad is proud to have been shortlisted for several awards recently as well as being named as one of the UK’s most exciting health technology companies. We have always known that our PGD platform is in a class of its own and these recent achievements provide the industry recognition to cement that fact. It reflects our commitment to building technology that empowers pharmacists, safely streamlines PGD and prescribing workflows and improves both patient experience and pharmacy efficiency.

One of the UK’s Most Exciting Technology Companies
Perhaps the strongest endorsement we have received so far this year is being named as number 16 in TechRound’s HealthTech44 of 2026. This annual list celebrates the most exciting and innovative businesses in health and medical technology. The 2026 campaign was judged by a panel of industry experts who said “the strongest entries combined innovative technology with a clear understanding of the clinical problem they were solving and a credible pathway to bringing that solution into practice.”
Making it into the top half of the list is an incredible achievement for us and our customers. Speaking about Nuumad, Head Judge Stuart Grant said: "A genuinely exciting and interesting platform helping pharmacies deliver private clinical care with real confidence. With over 1,000 UK pharmacies already on board and partnerships across major pharmacy networks, this is clearly a growing company scaling rapidly and with real momentum behind it."
Judges recognised that we had entered a highly regulated healthcare sector where trust, compliance and patient safety are essential. Success depended on proving that technology could improve care without compromising clinical governance. This was achieved by embedding structured workflows, clinical safety processes and user-centred design into every stage of development.
In addition to the HealthTech44 list, Nuumad has also been shortlisted for four other respected industry awards, each recognising a different aspect of innovation, impact, and entrepreneurship.
PM Society Awards – Impact and Innovation
The PM Society Awards are among the UK's most respected healthcare communications and pharmaceutical industry awards, celebrating organisations that are making a measurable difference to healthcare professionals, patients and the wider healthcare system. Entries are judged not only on creativity and innovation, but also on demonstrable outcomes, real-world impact and the ability to improve healthcare delivery.
Being shortlisted in the Impact and Innovation category further recognises Nuumad's commitment to transforming pharmacy through technology. It reflects our focus on developing clinically robust digital solutions that simplify workflows, improve patient access to care and enable pharmacists to deliver more efficient, safer clinical services without compromising professional judgement.
C+D Awards – Health Initiative of the Year
The C+D Awards are widely regarded as one of the highest honours in UK community pharmacy. For more than three decades, the awards have celebrated excellence across every part of the profession, recognising individuals, teams, pharmacies and organisations that are raising standards and improving patient care.
The Health Initiative of the Year category celebrates initiatives that have delivered outstanding health outcomes, improved access to healthcare or introduced innovative approaches to supporting patients within community pharmacy. Being shortlisted demonstrates the impact that Nuumad technology is having on pharmacy services and the patients they serve.
We're also delighted to congratulate our customers, Christchurch Clinics and Bruntsfield Pharmacy, who have also been shortlisted for a C+D Award.
Allica Bank GB Entrepreneur Awards – Tech Entrepreneur of the Year (Yorks & Humber)
Often referred to as the "Grammys of Entrepreneurship," the Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards celebrate founders and businesses that are making a significant contribution to the UK economy through innovation, growth, leadership and job creation.
The Technology Entrepreneur of the Year award recognises founders who are building technology businesses with strong commercial performance, ambitious growth and the potential to create lasting impact within their industries.
Being shortlisted in the Yorkshire & Humber region reflects Nuumad's rapid growth, expanding customer base and commitment to transforming digital healthcare through technology that empowers pharmacists rather than replacing them.
SeedLegals Startup Awards – Captivating Mission
The SeedLegals Startup Awards celebrate the UK's most ambitious startups, recognising founders who are combining innovation with purpose to solve meaningful problems. The Captivating Mission category specifically honours businesses driven by a compelling vision that goes beyond commercial success to create positive impact for customers and society.
For Nuumad, this nomination recognises our mission to help community pharmacies thrive through technology that removes administrative burden, improves clinical efficiency and enables pharmacists to spend more time delivering high-quality patient care. It's a recognition of the belief that technology should support healthcare professionals not replace the expertise and judgement that patients rely on every day.
We're incredibly proud that Nuumad has been recognised across multiple national awards, each celebrating a different aspect of our journey. This year’s nominations come off the back of a successful couple of years for Nuumad with us already winning several awards inlcuding:
