Today is Perfecting Peds first day taking APPE students from my alma mater Rutgers. What a cool and surreal moment to be able to give back to the school that gave me so much. **Advice to Pharmacy Students:** Throughout my career, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience, and I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of pharmacists. My advice to pharmacy students is rooted in the values that have guided my own journey: 1. Dream big. Set ambitious goals and work tirelessly to achieve them. 2. Surround yourself with people who inspire you. Build a network of mentors, colleagues, and friends who challenge and support you. 3. Stay uncomfortable to grow. Embrace challenges and step out of your comfort zone to learn and develop. 4. Take care of yourself—put on your oxygen mask first. Prioritize your well-being to be the best caregiver you can be. 5. Treat every patient as if they were your family. Approach each case with empathy, compassion, and a commitment to excellence. 6. Stay hungry for knowledge. Continually seek out opportunities to learn and stay abreast of the of the latest advancements in your field.  7. Think outside the box. Be innovative and creative in solving problems and improving patient care. Me and my mentor/ bestie my grandfather after my white coat ceremony circa 2007.

Exciting News for Pharmacy Technicians! CPPE and PWDS have teamed up to bring you "Resources for Pharmacy Technicians: Unlock Your Potential in Three Simple Steps," a NEW poster resource aimed at empowering pharmacy technicians to take charge of their professional and career development. The poster highlights key training and education opportunities from both CPPE and PWDS, aligning with the four pillars of practice: clinical, education, leadership and research. Created through a joint effort by myself, Sarah Evans (Senior Pharmacy Technician Learning Development, CPPE) and Mary Carter (Lead Pharmacy Training Programme Director, PWDS), this resource incorporates reflective practice, self-assessment and call to action to help you move from "knows how" to "does." It includes inspirational quotes from pharmacy technicians who have advanced their careers across these four pillars, offering motivation to help you do the same! We’re excited to officially launch this resource at CPC North in November 2024. Visit the CPPE and PWDS stands to see the resource and discuss how it can benefit you. I will be at the CPPE stand to answer questions, and share insights on how to unlock your potential! Take your practice to the next level. Empower yourself to grow in every aspect of your career with this innovative new resource. #PharmacyTechnicians #CareerDevelopment #CPPE #PWDS #AdvancingPractice #Education #Leadership #ClinicalExcellence #ResearchInnovation

For our September membership spotlight, we are thrilled to introduce you to Randall Andres. Randall is currently a P3 at CNUCOP, one our student representatives, and CNU's APhA-ASP co-president. Please see his answers to some questions below to learn more about him. 1. How long have you been a member of CPhA/SVPhA? • This is my 3rd year as a member of CPhA/SVPhA. 2. How do you define success? • I define success as doing the best that one can do and growing from it. 3. What do you enjoy most about pharmacy? • I enjoy being able to help patients live healthier lives, whether through the teaching opportunities provided during patient counseling, or in the conversations about the importance of their maintenance medications when speaking to them about adherence. 4. What can you not live without? • I cannot live without the love and support of my family. With the stresses of pharmacy school and work, it would be hard to imagine how I could handle it without my wife to help support and encourage me to push forward, and my son to motivate me to be better for their sake. 5. Why did you originally pursue pharmacy? • I joined pharmacy as a means to understand medicine better and help my parents and grandparents to use medications more safely. Coming from a family without much medical understanding, but requiring multiple maintenance medications, I wanted to be a better resource for them and others like them. 6. What do you like to do on your spare time? • I like to spend time with my 6-month-old son and my wife either at home or travelling.

This event sounds like an excellent opportunity for pharmacists to maximise the benefits of Pharmacy First and generate the much-needed additional income that is essential for the sustainability of community pharmacies today. However, to truly make the most of initiatives like Pharmacy First and expand into additional private services such as travel or weight management clinics, we need to rethink the way we work. Relying on legacy PMR systems that have been in place for the past 20 years won't suffice. To embrace these NHS services and generate even more income, it's crucial to adopt new technologies, such as PharmacyX, that can free pharmacists from the dispensing process, allowing them to focus more on delivering clinical services. I firmly believe that the future success of community pharmacy hinges on our willingness to embrace both technological advancements and new service offerings. #CommunityPharmacy #PharmacyFirst #PharmacyInnovation #ClinicalServices #PharmacyTechnology #HealthcareTransformation #PharmacistLeadership #PharmacyBusiness #PharmacyFuture #NHSPharmacy #PrivateHealthServices #PharmacyEx #PharmacyEfficiency #PharmacyGrowth
