MAKING a change from the chocolates, bikkies and booze that grace the typical Christmas hamper, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia has outdone itself this festive season.
It sent a handful of stakeholders - alas, not including our good selves - a hamper including jellybeans and a doll bearing a likeness to Guild president Trent Twomey in a Guild dispensing coat.
Bewdy!
Oh, and some pins... which go with the doll.
Yes, it's a voodoo doll for people to enact their pent-up festive cheer upon.
The last couple of years have been interesting for Prof Twomey, with the 60-day prescribing policy that was feared would see pharmacists go bankrupt.
Some adept politicking saw community pharmacies benefit from compensatory funding in the Eighth Community Pharmacy Agreement, but it seems Prof Twomey may have picked up some enemies along the way.
But seriously, kudos for the sense of humour.
