CANBERRA'S Capital Chemist Wanniassa, ACT, has been named a finalist in the Pharmacy Guild of Australia Pharmacy of the Year award process.
Partners Honor Penprase and Elise Apolloni (pictured) hold at least two health promotions every month -- and raise money for at least two community charities corresponding with the promotions.
They say they have built on their own experiences in the community and helped to reinforce the effectiveness of health promotion activities.
"There are countless community engagement activities we undertake every year, from fun-runs, relays for life and volunteering roles to fundraisers, school visits and sponsorship for local groups and events," Apolloni said.
Capital Chemist Wanniassa was the first recognised Gold Standard Skilled Workplace for Mental Health First Aid in the country, and in spite of challenges, has successfully managed through several stand-out activies in 2016, including a Beyond Blue bake sale held in memory of a team member.
