THE Pharmaceutical Society of
Australia has bestowed its 2011

Management upon West Australian
pharmacist Penny Tuffin.
Sponsored by Mundipharma, the
award recognises Tuffin’s exceptional
and outstanding contribution to the
quality use of medicines through
direct clinical care of patients
suffering from persistent pain.
“Penny Tuffin is indeed a very
worthy recipient who through her
actions, words and deeds has been
one of the most inspiring
pharmacists in ensuring people
with pain are considered a national
health priority,” said PSA National
President Warwick Plunkett.
“Throughout her pharmacy
career, Penny has been a leader,
not only in the provision of clinical
pharmacy services for patients with
pain, but a strong advocate for
expanding the role of pharmacists
in this area, and improving the
understanding of pain medications
in the healthcare and general
community,” Plunkett added.
