VICTORIAN accredited pharmacist Neil Petrie has been named as the 2019 MIMS Consultant Pharmacist of the Year by the Australian Association of Consultant Pharmacy (AACP).
The award was presented in Melbourne last Fri night during the opening event of the 15th annual AACP ConPharm conference.
The award, which includes a medallion and certificate plus a $5,000 travel grant to attend a pharmacy conference of relevance to the practice of consultant pharmacy, recognises an "outstanding contribution by an accredited pharmacist to the practice of consultant pharmacy".
Petrie has been accredited with the AACP since 1998, with the organisation saying he was a "highly regarded and dedicated provider of Residential Medication Management Review (RMMR) services".
His own PRN Consulting website provides a range of useful and practical resources to support staff working in aged care, including online education modules on a variety of clinical topics.
"Neil's other roles include educator, mentor and researcher," the AACP said.
