TERRYWHITE Chemmart (TWC) today launched a new national women's health focus, positioning its community pharmacists as a trusted frontline destination for women's health care.
The initiative integrates existing pharmacist-led women's services under a unified national framework, supported by private CareClinic consultation spaces (pictured) and a digital booking system.
In the context of the Federal Government's $573 million women's health investment, the focus translates national policy reform into accessible, everyday care delivered through local community pharmacies.
TWC pharmacists and pharmacy assistants have access to a comprehensive suite of training resources, including an 11-part video series on delivering a broad range of women's health services.
This is complemented by dedicated modules designed to build confidence in providing evidence-based product and lifestyle recommendations for women seeking menopause support.
Focus partners include GenM, the home of the MTick symbol and certification for menopause-friendly products, and WellFemme, a telehealth menopause clinic delivering expert care for those in perimenopause and menopause.
TWC pharmacist prescriber, Tahnee Simpson, said the focus represents a fundamental shift in how women access healthcare.
"Women don't experience health in silos," Simpson said.
"Their needs change across life stages, and they need care that is accessible, trusted and coordinated," she explained.
"Community pharmacy is uniquely placed to deliver that because we are local, highly trained and embedded in everyday healthcare.
"From contraception access and UTI treatment through to vaccinations, menopause support and telehealth referrals, pharmacists are now delivering structured, protocol-driven women's health services that are safe, evidence-based and genuinely accessible."
Meanwhile, Ovarian Cancer Australia is joining forces with TWC to raise awareness of the disease and provide support for those affected by it.
"This is about building a health-led operating model, not a marketing campaign," Simpson explained.
"It's about creating a nationally consistent framework where women can access care confidently through their local pharmacy, supported by strong governance, training and partnerships." KB
