THE Platform Alliance Group (PAG) showcased at APP2023 that inspiring success lies at the heart of what they do by helping all pharmacists to overcome obstacles and thrive with purpose in their communities.
CEO Dave Fenlon said he was delighted to see "Alliance Pharmacy - Thursday Island Pharmacy recognised for Excellence in Pharmacy Innovation Award.
"Their unique location presents immense logistical challenges in delivering healthcare to those living on Thursday Island and neighbouring islands in the northern tip of Queensland and Papua New Guinea in the Torres Strait.
"Still, Mick Delaney, Luci Delaney, Carli Berrill, Caitlin Davies and Simon Reynolds have created effective ways to engage with their patients and help them with their health.
"It takes a high level of commitment and passion to achieve recognition from their patients and the industry - this is what inspiring success is all about, and we want to inspire all pharmacies and the industry."
Andrew Pattinson, Chief Innovation Officer of PAG and facilitator of the first panel session, at APP explained that the world in which pharmacists are practising is changing rapidly.
"To achieve better business, we need visionary leaders like Catherine Bronger, Kristina Fox, Haley Tamborini and Nicole Hooley.
"Whether you are starting your first or fifth pharmacy, the PAG will back you to deliver your vision to help your patients achieve better health expectations.
"With PAG celebrating our first birthday, we are thrilled to be supporting more than 2,500 pharmacies across Australia.
"We are urging all pharmacies to start the journey to practice to their full scope - pharmacy change must start today."
Panel member and pharmacist Kristina Fox added, "I couldn't be prouder to share the stage with three inspirational women in the industry.
"At my pharmacy, we try to understand gaps in health solutions and work on trying to fill those gaps and constantly evolve to meet the needs of the community - this is critical as we approach full scope."
