THE National Museum of Australia was the glittering venue for the Capital Chemist group's annual Christmas Party last weekend, with the gala event also seeing the presentation of the Capital Chemist Pharmacy of the Year awards.
The hotly contested tradition focuses on 38 measures which reflect the aim of the group's overall strategic plan, such as dispensary management, health services, retail performance, business management and compliance with brand standards.
Capital Chemist Crace took home the top Westpac-sponsored award, with the organisation's Group Business Manager, Andrew Topp, presenting the trophy to Managing Partner Ryan Chan and his team (pictured) alongside Capital Chemist Board Chair Cathy Rice.
The runner up Capital Chemist Pharmacy of the Year was awarded to Magna Tsui and the team at Capital Chemist Lyneham, while the Up and Coming Award for Most Improved Pharmacy went to Catherine Yee and Dickson Yan at Capital Chemist Bowral.
In the ACT Capital Chemist has a diverse program of support for about 40 charities and community organisations, totalling about $400,000 each year.
The annual Community Program award goes to the pharmacy that has made the largest contribution to the scheme, and in 2022 this went to Mark Aspden and Gareth Wheeldon at Capital Chemist University of Canberra Bruce.
The Team Member of the Year award went to Chidi Nlekwuwa, Dispensary Manager and Workplace Health Assessments Coordinator (and resident artist and musician) at Capital Chemist Kingston (pictured right).
