Three high-achieving pharmacists who have raised practice standards have been recognised for their contributions to the industry.
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has named researcher and Melbourne-based pharmacist, Dr Amy Page, as the national PSA Symbion Pharmacist of the Year today.
Page is the President of PSA’s Victorian branch, a leading pharmacy researcher, academic, and practising pharmacist.
The PSA 2024 Symbion Excellence Awards also recognised Jackie Lockley as the Early Career Pharmacist of the Year, and Peter Halstead was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Symbion CEO Brett Barons congratulated the award winners, saying, “pharmacists are the backbone of Australia’s healthcare system, and Symbion is proud to sponsor the PSA Excellence Awards for a 20th year and help celebrate those pharmacists making their mark on the industry”.
“On behalf of Symbion, I congratulate this year’s winners on their outstanding achievements and deserved recognition for their commitment to deliver the highest level of care to their communities.”
Each PSA Symbion Excellence Award winner will receive a prize of $5,000 to spend on PSA conferences, courses, membership or subscriptions.
