CANBERRA community pharmacist Elise Apolloni (pictured)from Capital Chemist Wanniassa has been named the National Telstra Young Business Woman of the Year.
Apolloni's national recognition follows her earlier success when she won the 2017 Telstra ACT Business Woman of the Year, the Entrepreneur Award and the Young Business Women's Award (PD 04 Oct).
President of the ACT Branch of the Guild, Simon Blacker, congratulated vice president Apolloni on her award.
"Elise is a great example of a community pharmacist embracing the new model of pharmacy which places a greater emphasis on the delivery of professional services," he said.
Blacker also highlighted the pharmacy-integrated mental health services at Apolloni's pharmacy, adding that she extended this interest further than within her business by also volunteering as a telephone crisis support worker at Lifeline Canberra and as a phone counsellor for the National Pharmacists' Support Service while also being a Mental Health First Aid instructor.
