THE Pharmacy Board of Australia has commended Australia's 29,600 pharmacists for "their important contribution to the health and wellbeing of the Australian community" in the lead-up to World Pharmacists Day.
Now in its sixth year, World Pharmacists Day is being marked worldwide this Sunday 25 Sep, with this year's theme being 'Pharmacists: Caring for you'.
"Every community has access to a pharmacist, through their local pharmacy or hospital, making pharmacists one of the most visible and accessible health professionals for the public," said Board Chair William Kelly.
"This year's theme reflects this," he added.
The theme highlights the role of pharmacists in providing care to the public, and how it has "evolved from being a provider of medicines to that of a provider of care."
