We are delighted to announce that the inaugural winner of the Pharmacists' Support Service (PSS) John Coppock Pharmacist Wellbeing Award is The Dignity Project, led by Tasmanian pharmacist Marika Castrisios. The Dignity Project was established in the Royal Hobart Hospital Pharmacy Department by Marika, following her own traumatic miscarriage, when it was identified that there was a lack of resources including sanitary products and support for staff experiencing sensitive personal health issues at work. PDL has partnered with PSS for this award, which is announced during Mental Health Month, to highlight a pharmacist or a pharmacy team who contributes significantly to the wellbeing of members of the pharmacy profession. Congratulations to Marika and her team and thank you to all those nominated. The work you are doing to improve the wellbeing of your colleagues and the pharmacy profession does not go unnoticed.

As your scope of practice continues to expand, you're stepping up to meet the ever-evolving needs of our communities. Thank you for embracing this responsibility and delivering exceptional care, every day. Our Chief Pharmacist, Brenton Hart, recently had the privilege of sitting down with Pharmaceutical Society of Australia President Dr. Fei Sim to explore why pharmacists are pivotal in addressing healthcare needs worldwide and here at home. They also discuss what lies ahead for the profession – exciting times indeed! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gitkbt3K You’ll also find invaluable resources, including an insightful session on Pharmacist Prescribing and Risk Mitigation with Jess Hadley from PDL (Pharmaceutical Defence Limited), and a range of CPD-accredited Masterclass content to help you finish the CPD year strong.
