ALL too often the efforts of those working in the pharmacy sector go unnoticed, but that was far from the case on Wed night in London.
Heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, whose profile will likely adorn the back of Australian coins in years to come, described pharmacy workers as "a vital source of healthcare advice" for millions of people, during an event to honour their efforts throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, at St James's Palace.
In his closing address the monarch-in-waiting thanked pharmacists "for everything you do, so brilliantly, to keep people well and above all to save lives".
"I very much hope that this evening's event will help, a little bit, to highlight the marvellous work you do in your communities day in and day out," Prince Charles said.
"Pharmacies are about people and places, not just pills.
"You continue, ladies and gentlemen, to innovate and adapt to the rapidly evolving needs of patients and the National Health Service, and this includes developing your skills as prescribers, which seems to me of critical importance."
