What is UK’s Best Workplaces for Women 2026?


The UK’s Best Workplaces for Women 2026 list recognises organisations assessed as providing inclusive and equitable workplace experiences. The 2026 list covers 350 organisations across four size categories, with 100 places in the Small category.

The Best Workplaces for Women UK recognition is not based only on policies or statements of intent. Employees answer more than 60 confidential survey questions about their working lives. Great Place To Work UK’s published methodology gives women’s feedback, and its comparison with men’s responses, 85% of the ranking weight. Representation of women across the workforce and management accounts for the remaining 15%.

Healthcare colleagues contributing to an inclusive and equitable workplace culture through listening, fairness and professional development.
The recognition reflects workplace experience and employee feedback, not a measure of clinical quality or patient outcomes.

How was Core Prescribing Solutions assessed?


Core Prescribing Solutions was assessed through an employee-feedback-led process. The route to recognition can be understood in four steps:

  • An organisation must first achieve Certification.
  • Employees complete confidential Trust Index™ survey questions.
  • Women’s reported experience carries 85% of the assessment.
  • Women’s representation carries the final 15%.
Four-stage pathway showing certification, confidential employee feedback, women’s workplace experience and workforce representation in the assessment process.
Great Place To Work UK combines confidential employee feedback with workforce representation measures when assessing the list.

The organisation’s independent Great Place To Work profile reports that 83% of employees say it is a great place to work. The comparable figure for a typical UK-based company is 54%.

The same profile reports that 100% of surveyed employees said people are treated fairly regardless of gender. It also reports that 96% feel they make a difference at work.

Diverse healthcare professionals sharing confidential workplace feedback in an employee-led assessment of workplace culture.
Employee feedback is central to understanding how colleagues experience their workplace.

Why does this matter for women in healthcare?


An inclusive workplace helps skilled people contribute, develop and build sustainable careers. This matters for women in healthcare, as well as the Clinical Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians and operational teams supporting GP practices and Primary Care Networks.

For those considering the Best Workplaces for Women UK list, the award provides independent evidence of how colleagues experience the organisation. It is an employer-culture recognition, not a measure of clinical quality or patient outcomes. However, it reinforces the people focus behind Core Prescribing Solutions’ purpose and approach in primary care.

Women and colleagues in clinical pharmacy and healthcare operations developing meaningful careers in a supportive workplace.
Inclusive workplaces help healthcare professionals contribute, develop and build sustainable careers.
