CANBERRA pharmacy, Men's Health Downunder, has been named as the ACT Men's Health Award winner.
The business, launched in 2013, by Brad Butt (pictured centre), offers three full-time pharmacists providing specialist support for men who are experiencing urological issues.
Located at Weston, ACT, the Cooleman Court Pharmacy offers advice to men who have undergone a prostatectomy, and the physical and mental health conditions they can experience as a result of the procedure.
Butt said the store's success stemmed from the fact "men can access a pharmacist, with or without their partners, on an ad-hoc basis with the initial consultation being upwards of an hour long.
"This ensures men have time to get all their questions answered ensuring that they leave with a good understanding and hopefully outcome - no question is too difficult nor is it likely it hasn't been asked before," he said.
Butt add that men attending Men's Health Downunder provided the pharmacists with the opportunity to give counselling on prescribed medications, offer smoking cessation, weight-loss and alcohol intake support.
The pharmacy also works with urologists, GPs, nurses, physiotherapists, sexologists and counsellors remotely in an effort to bridge the gap that exists for many men between them and their doctor/allied health care practitioner.
