THE Sydney Pharmacy School at the University of Sydney hosted the 2025 Pharmacy Preceptor Awards last week, recognising the outstanding contributions of pharmacy preceptors who play a vital role in shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals.
The School has supported over 1,200 students to complete 1,600 clinical placements across community, hospital, rural, industry, aged care and GP pharmacy settings this year, with 140 nominations for preceptors who have had a profound impact on students' learning and professional development.
Awards were presented to six preceptors who exemplified excellence in mentorship and pharmacy practice:
* Community Pharmacy - Safa Mussa (Miller Discount Pharmacy)
* Hospital Pharmacy - Geoffrey Wills (St George Hospital)
* Rural/Regional Pharmacy - Justine Mitchell (Wollongong Hospital)
* Pharmaceutical Industry - Jeannette Le (Roche)
* Pharmacist Professional Practitioner Award - Alice Nguyen (Liverpool Hospital)
* Dean's Choice Preceptor Award - Peter Nguyen (Menai WholeLife Pharmacy & Healthfoods).
"These preceptor awards, and the many nominees, represent the very best of our profession of pharmacy," said Professor Andrew McLachlan, Head of School and Dean.
"They are inspiring pharmacists who 'pay it forward' and transform the career trajectory of our pharmacy students at the University of Sydney.
"We celebrate their contribution and thank them for the role they play in making and shaping the future of pharmacy," Professor McLachlan concluded.
