PHARMACIST Suzanne Conti (pictured) is raising awareness about the cancer charity Look Good Feel Better by offering her professional expertise at a number of free in-person and online workshops.
Conti, who works at Pharmacy 777 Cannington, WA, told Pharmacy Daily that the workshops she has run on behalf of the charity for cancer patients for years, covers topics from skincare and makeup as well as headwear options, through to grooming, fitness, mobility, and mental wellbeing.
"I know that in pharmacy it's all about giving people the complete care, not just handing them their prescription, but looking after their other symptoms too.
"Offering these workshops to customers suffering from cancer is really giving holistic care," Conti added, especially encouraging other female pharmacists to consider undertaking training to be able to offer these workshops to their local communities.
She is keen for the message to be spread that through these workshops a number of women, some men and teenagers have found navigating what is obviously a "traumatic journey a lot easier".
The charity stated the workshops demonstrate skincare routines to assist with "side-effects like dryness and sun sensitivity; and provide make-up tips to help correct and conceal redness, sallowness, pigmentation and dark circles, as well as demonstrating techniques for drawing on eyebrows and eyelashes; and offer advice on headwear options, including scarf styling and wig selection".
