Assistants break records
July 7, 2015
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia
has cited a strong response to the
2015 Pharmacy Assistant of the
Year awards, with more than 450
pharmacy assistants nominated.
In response to the nominations a
whopping 260 assistants entered
the award, up 25% year on year,
with each submitting an entry
detailing their experiences and
showcasing their knowledge.
Guild national president George
Tambassis said he’s thrilled to see
pharmacy assistants recognised.
“Pharmacy assistants are the
frontline of community pharmacy
and the contribution they make to
each store is vital,” he said.
“It’s wonderful to see the
encouragement these pharmacy
assistants have received from their
employers, colleagues and the
wider pharmacy industry, to keep
up the good work.”
The process, which is sponsored
by GuildSuper, sees finalists
selected in each State who will be
invited to a Workshop Training Day
in their respective capital cities.
From there, a state winner will
be chosen who will represent their
state or territory in the National
Finals held at the Pharmacy
Assistant National Conference
which will take place on the Gold
Coast in Oct this year.
The overall winner will take home
more than $10,000 in cash and
prizes, including a Guild Training
course of their choice.
