FOUR hundred pharmacists and support staff attended TerryWhite Chemmart's 2017 Masterclass event which was held this week at the Pullman Hotel in Melbourne's Albert Park, Vic.
The conference featured a range of speakers across fields of change & disruption, mental health, ageing, obstetrics, memory loss & paediatrics.
Some of the key presenters included change expert Rachael Robertson, who took on a gruelling leadership challenge in Antarctica, along with midwife Cath Curtin, advocate for ongoing support for families following newborns, as well as Amanda Wheeler, Professor of Mental Health at Griffith University.
This was the third year the Masterclass has been running and involved member pharmacies across brands including TerryWhite Chemmart, TerryWhite Chemists, Chemmart and Chemplus for the first time.
TerryWhite Chemmart ceo Anthony White said the 2017 Masterclass event took a "360-degree approach to delivering improved frontline healthcare" as the pharmacists looked at new ways of working together with doctors and other health professionals.
Professional practice manager for the TerryWhite Chemmart group Simon Furletti said covering elements from clinical practice, business skills and techniques would better collaborate with both patients and other health care practitioners and that pharmacists are better equipped to spend time engaging with consumers.
Apotex allowed TerryWhite Chemmart to offer Masterclass at no cost to members.
