A DRIVING force in raising awareness for health conditions in her community, TerryWhite Chemmart (TWC) Goondiwindi's Emma Conway (pictured), has been named the 2021 TWC Pharmacist of the Year (PotY).
Since joining the rural Queensland pharmacy's team as an intern in 2018, Conway has become a pillar of the community and a driving force when it comes to raising awareness about health conditions with her patients, TWC CEO, Duncan Phillips said, during the group's virtual Masterclass event on Sat.
"There is nothing Emma wouldn't do to support her community and I am incredibly thrilled she is our 2021 PotY," Phillips said.
"One of Emma's most successful campaigns was her event with TradeMutt, which helped promote discussions around mental health, and more recently Emma bravely shaved her head raising $18,000 for Cancer Research as part of the World's Greatest Shave."
Announcing Conway's win, TWC Founder, Terry White, described her as "a recognisable force in her Gundy community - always putting the needs of her customers and community first, which was very much on display during the peak of COVID-19, when she provided regular vital information through their [TWC Goondiwindi's] social channels".
Accepting the 2021 TWC PotY title, Conway said it was an incredible honour and privilege.
"I am beyond thrilled to be recognised alongside so many amazing pharmacists," she said.
"I am lucky to work for such a progressive and innovative pharmacy team, which allows me to explore new and creative ways to engage our community."
As the 2021 TWC PotY, Conway will receive funding towards further education to support her efforts to develop more innovative programs to help patients in and around Goondiwindi.
