THE fledgling pharmacy faculty at Sydney’s University of Technology last week honoured David Dixon, owner of Goldfields Fullife Pharmacy in Gympie, Queensland, as the winner of the UTS:Pharmacy AstraZeneca Australian Innovative Pharmacist of the Year award. The new annual award was created “to recognise individuals and teams who embrace current challenges with intellectual rigour and curiosity to create solutions for the industry, the profession and the community,” according to UTS:Pharmacy. Courtesy of AstraZeneca, the prize is a coveted medal - plus $5000 to spend on professional development, and with the support of UTS Dixon will also present a lecture on his innovative work at a major Australian conference. The judges hailed Dixon’s Sleep Management innovation as a robust business model that any pharmacy could adopt. The Sleep Management service acts as a ‘one-stop-shop’ that identifies, engages and then encourages patients to take control of their condition and take proactive steps to maximise their health. The innovation has seen a staggering $250,000 revenue increase at Dixon’s pharmacy in its first year of operation. At the awards five other finalists were also highly commended for their innovative work: Cathey Reid, ceo of APHS Packaging; Grant McGill of Kingsley Village Pharmacy; Amanda Bryce of Gerald Burns Pharmacy Bicton; Kirrily Chambers of Mount Barker Chemmart; and Advantage Pharmacy Group. “Innovation has always been a cornerstone of pharmacy,” said the chair of the UTS National Academic Advisory Committee, Warwick Plunkett. “As the profession goes through a time of unprecedented change, it’s important to recognise those who are leading the way,” he added. Dixon is pictured above centre accepting the award from Peter Booth, Senior Deputy Vice Chancellor of UTS (left) and Mark Fladrich, Managing Director ANZ for AstraZeneca.

THE fight to have Lyme Disease recognised as an Australian problem is gathering momentum, with a recent protest by the Australian Lyme Disease Advocacy Group held this month outside NSW Health offices in North Sydney putting the issue into the public forum. Protesters included sufferers and their families, as well as medical experts and consumer advocates. Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection transmitted to humans by ticks and potentially other insects, and if left untreated, can cause numerous health symptoms including severe neurological damage and pain, and can be fatal. Lyme Disease often mimics other illnesses such as MS, motor neurone disease, anxiety, autism, and fibromyalgia to name a few. At present Australian governments, both State and Federal, deny that Australian ticks carry lyme disease, however according to protest organisers thousands of Australians have been bitten by a tick and then tested positive for the illness. “There have been various previous Australian research studies conducted by qualified medical professionals and animal zoological experts proving Lyme Disease exists in Australia,” a statement by the protesters said. “This research has been available as early as in the 1950s when lyme borreliosis was discovered in Australian native animals. “This study and later studies proving the existence of Lyme in Australia has been ignored by NSW Health. “Australian patients are being left to suffer, or told they are mentally unwell,” the protesters added. The protest action demanded the government recognise Lyme Disease, provide funding for research and adequate and accredited testing processes in Australia, as well as education for health care professionals on the condition.

THIS month pharmacy students and interns had the opportunity to engage with pharmacy owners, employed pharmacists and members of the pharmacy industry at the Australian College of Pharmacy’s ‘Speed Networking’ event in Adelaide. The event ran in a similar way to speed dating, whereby the attending pharmacy students/interns were allotted time-limited intervals with the pharmacy professionals to discuss current pharmacy issues, ask questions and develop networking skills. After the 15 minute interval was over the participants then rotated. According to the ACP, the event was so well received that 80% of participants stayed a further two hours to unofficially network with industry guests and leaders. The Adelaide event followed the inaugural ‘Speed Networking’ event held at the ACP Annual Conference in Brisbane last month. “The College believes this new type of event structure will attract and develop pharmacy students, interns and pharmacists in a challenging environment with the skills required to be successful in the industry,” the ACP said. Pictured here at the event are (from left) pharmacists Lloyd Smith, Michael Bakker, Daniel Rifkin and NAPSA President Chris Braithwaite.

PRICELINE has launched Pinky, a bright pink trailer which converts from a beauty parlour to a health check hub, depending on the event. Pinky’s debut coincides with Priceline’s involvement with ACP’s 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty which takes place through September, of which the pharmacy chain is a Diamond Sponsor. Pinky’s launch campaign will see the full integration of the company’s recently re-launched loyalty program, the Priceline Sister Club, which currently boasts more than 3.9 million members. As such, during September Pinky will act as ‘The Sister Clubhouse’ where women will be treated to free mini makeovers, gift bags, and beauty demonstrations. “In today’s evolving retail environment, we see customer engagement as a key contributor to differentiating Priceline from our competitors,” said Amanda Connors, Priceline’s Marketing Director. “Priceline is committed to women’s health and wellbeing and this mobile event hub allows us to take our major marketing initiatives to our customers who live in metropolitan and regional locations in Australia. “We’re extremely excited to have Pinky and I invite women all over the country to visit us when we are in their home town,” Connors added. Pinky’s launch was held at Priceline Pharmacy Pakenham on the weekend, and its month long tour will include 12 stops at locations that include Shepparton, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane and Robina on the Gold Coast.

LAST week a group of intrepid Australian pharmacists took on the slopes of Mt Buller during the annual Medici Capital Pharmacy Ski Race. The race was held during the Pharmacy Snow Business Conference last week in Victoria, and saw the pharmacists compete on a challenging race course on Skyline run at Mt Buller. The Pharmacy Ski Cup was won by Melbourne pharmacist Greg Goldby with second and third places going to Mark Henry and Martin Nowak respectively. The women’s division saw Cathy Henry take the top spot followed by Caroline Diamantis, whilst the junior division was hotly contested with Bridget and Mary Henry going head-to-head to finish with some of the fastest times of the day. “While many of the competitors were eager to meet the challenge and win the race, the ultimate race is addressing the new frontier of pharmacy management post PBS Reforms,” said Frank Sirianni, Managing Director of Medici Capital. Pictured above from left are: Caroline Diamantis, Frank Sirianni (Medici Capital), Kaye McIntyre and David Hanna.

CATHIE Reid, CEO of APHS Packaging spent a night sleeping rough on the streets in a bid to help raise funds for the homeless. Joined by 150 other beanie clad business leaders at the annual Vinnies CEO Sleepout, Reid said that as mental illness is often a contributing factor to homelessness, it was important to her, as a representative of the pharmacy and health sectors, to help raise awareness of the issue in Australia. “The Vinnies CEO Sleepout has really opened my eyes to the growing number of homeless people in Brisbane – in particular the growing number of women and children who find themselves in circumstances where they have no roof over their head,” she said. “I hope my brief encounter sleeping in the open helps make me a better ambassador for those who sleep rough every night and who lack, not only a place to call home, but a voice,” she added. For her efforts, APHS staff, suppliers, customers and stakeholders helped Reid raise more than $10,000 for St Vincent de Paul homeless services, double her target. Reid is pictured above rugged up and ready for a cold evening on the streets.
