The Lifetime Achievement Award recognises an individual who, through their life's endeavours, has made a significant impact and enduring contribution to healthcare regulatory affairs.

This contribution should be clearly over and above what might have been expected from the professional role the individual was employed to do.

This award category is open to individuals only.

Nominees should have demonstrated:

1. A consistent history of contribution in regulatory affairs (meant for an entire body of work, not just a single achievement) over and above the call of duty throughout their career.
2. An exceptional contribution to TOPRA and/or the profession and development of regulatory affairs or regulatory science.
3. A significant impact being made on regulatory affairs in the healthcare sector.
