LIFE Pharmacy Group has celebrated wins for the past year, and set goals for the group's members for the year ahead, at its annual conference in Forbes, held over three days last week.
This year's conference theme was 'Back in Business' with a focus on returning to their core offering post-COVID which is professional services and community engagement.
At the awards night (pictured: group photo), CEO Michael Flannery awarded Bev Mistry-Cable from Cooleman Court Pharmacy, the Life Pharmacy Group Star Award, for her ongoing management of stock shortages and for looking after the safety of the team by ensuring access to PPE throughout COVID.
Caitlin Smith was awarded Life Pharmacy Group - 2023 Retail Manager of the Year, for leading from the front and being eager and ambitious to learn more as a retail manager at Lanyon Pharmacy, ACT.
Smith stood out to win this award for the energy and dedication demonstrated over the past 12 months.
Shannon Nash from Life Pharmacy, Forbes, won the Life Pharmacy Group - 2023 Pharmacist-in-Charge of the Year award.
Nash had taken on extra responsibilities and shown leadership to her team and community during not one, but two devastating floods in Forbes at the end of 2022.
Last, but by no means least, the Life Pharmacy Group - 2023 Pharmacy of the Year award was presented to joint winners - Life Pharmacy Forbes, and Flannery's Pharmacy.
Both pharmacies showed resilience and amazing support to their local community during the Forbes floods, said Flannery.
"Personally, I'd like to thank you all for keeping the businesses safe and dry, things ticking over when there has been no or little power and going that extra mile (sometimes on a truck through the water) to ensure our patients have been looked after," he concluded.
