2014 Pharmacy of the Year
March 14, 2014
Charnwood Capital
Chemist in the ACT took
out the overall Quality Care
Pharmacy Program Pharmacy
of the Year award at APP
2014 (PD breaking news),
with the winners named
yesterday by federal health
minister Peter Dutton.
The overall winner of the
award’s three categories,
owner Samantha Kourtis
(pictured right accepting the
award) said any pharmacists
who thought their pharmacy
might have something to
showcase should consider
entering next year.
Charnwood Capital Chemist was
also named the winner of the
Innovation in Professional Services
category, with Priceline Pharmacy
Springwood, NSW, taking out the
Excellence in Business Management
category, and Outback Pharmacies
Broken Hill NSW coming up trumps
in the Excellence in Community
Engagement category.
Bill Scott, one of the award
judges, said the ten finalists
provided pharmaceutical services in
care, most in disadvantaged areas,
providing “sensational” service with
almost no focus on price.
“Like many of the pharmacies
this year, Samantha saw that there
were needs in the community that
weren’t being dealt with.”
Pharmacy Guild of Australia
national president George
Tambassis said there was no better
showcase of the individual and
collective achievements of the
industry than the rigorously judged
and highly respected award.
The winners will share a cash
prize, receive a trophy and an inpharmacy
photo shoot.
