THE PHARMACY Guild of Australia's Queensland branch was recognised for its work in mental health at the 2016 Queensland Mental Health Week Achievement Awards held at Brisbane City Hall on 14 Oct.
The branch was honoured with the Not-For-Profit Organisational Award (Small to Medium 1-100 staff) as well as the Open Minds Earle Duss Memorial Award, the overarching award given to just one of the finalists.
The Queensland branch collaborated closely with the Partners in Recovery Program which provides mental health education and training to staff at over 100 pharmacies in the area.
Pharmacist at branch Dr Hidy Chan accepted the award, commenting "these awards confirm the importance of community pharmacies in the delivery of healthcare services and support for people living with mental illness".
