TWO pharmacists were among the eminent Australians named yesterday by the Governor General in the annual Queen's Birthday Honours List.
The honorees include Lorraine Koller who has received a Medal (OAM) of the Order of Australia for service to the pharmacy profession.
Koller has been a long-time hospital pharmacist at Sydney's Westmead Hospital, and now is the deputy director of Pharmacy.
She has also served on the Area Drug Committee of the Western Sydney Local Health District since 2004, and is a member of the NSW Medication Safety Expert Advisory Committee and the NSW Therapeutic Advisory Group.
Sydney University's Head of School and Dean of Pharmacy, Professor Andrew McLachlan, was cited as a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia for "significant service to pharmacy as a researcher, educator and administrator, and to professional medical and scientific organisations".
McLachlan has been Professor of Pharmacy (Aged Care) since 2006, is a former PSA Pharmacist of the Year, and holds a range of other expert roles with the Health Department and the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority.
