THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia has announced Taroom Pharmacy (West of Bundaberg, Qld) as the winner for Best Video in the rural pharmacy video competition for rural, regional and remote pharmacies across Australia.
The second prize, the People's Choice, was awarded to Gemfields Pharmacy (central Qld), while the Influencing Change award went to Thursday Island Pharmacy.
As part of the "Your Future Is Now" theme of the Rural Pharmacy Forum at APP2019, rural, regional and remote pharmacists and staff were invited to submit a 30-45 second video about their vision for the future of their unique pharmacy.
The "Your Future Is Now" theme aligns with the Guild's major project, Community Pharmacy 2025 (CP2025), which provides "a vision for a vibrant, dynamic and commercial community pharmacy network into 2025 and beyond".
Guild National President George Tambassis said the competition was fast becoming a highlight at APP.
"It is fun and the videos are creative and inspiring.
"This year's theme of looking to the future has shown how innovative pharmacists are in these areas and how committed they are to ensuring they can meet their communities' health needs now and into the future," Tambassis said.
"One thing that really shines through in all the videos is how much the pharmacists and staff love working in these areas and how much they are an integral part of their local communities."
