WITH recent high levels of interest in pharmacy ownership, especially among younger pharmacists (PD 05 Sep), a timely interview with seasoned pharmacist, business mentor, and former board member Ivan Grauer is ideally placed to provide aspiring owners with valuable advice.
In the latest episode of Your Pharmacy Career Podcast, Grauer (pictured) shared with host Krysti-Lee Patterson an inspiring story spanning five decades of professional success, personal setbacks, and the value of relationships in pharmacy.
Over the course of his career, Grauer has held several influential leadership roles, including serving on the Board of Directors of Chemmart Pharmacies and being a member of the Buying Advisory Board for Amcal, where he played a key role in guiding strategic direction and industry innovation.
From revitalising underperforming pharmacies to appearing on national television as the face of Chemmart, Grauer now consults for emerging pharmacy owners, offering practical, no-obligation advice on buying and running pharmacies, guided by his belief in people over profits.
"If you focus on the relationship, the income will come," he told Patterson.
"But if you focus only on income, you lose sight - and it's not sustainable."
