Future Pharmacy Leaders

The Community Pharmacy Management Awards, hosted by Symbion, JR Pharmacy Accountants and Terry White Chemists, seeks to encourage high achieving students to further the focus and development of best practice management in  community pharmacies.

A two-day management course, held in Brisbane, was part of the prize and aimed to bridge the gap between the  theoretical world of university pharmacy departments and the real business of pharmacy.

The training covered the management and operational aspects of running a pharmacy – from the all-important bottom line to people management and the role of manufacturers and wholesalers.

Participants (pictured) were also given a behind the scenes tour of the production line inside a Symbion wa .rehouse facility.
