Celebrating Pharmacists on World Pharmacists Day, 25 September 2024

2024 has been a milestone year for pharmacists, making World Pharmacists Day the perfect opportunity to celebrate their incredible achievements. As 25 September approaches, let’s acknowledge the hard work of our local community pharmacists.

World Pharmacists Day recognises the important role pharmacists play in meeting healthcare needs worldwide. This year, we are highlighting how community pharmacists are stepping up—through new services and initiatives—to meet the evolving needs of Australian healthcare.

Pharmacists are doing more for their patients than ever before, offering treatment for an increased range of everyday health conditions. Providing patients with more convenient and more cost-effective primary healthcare.

Pharmacists in every state and territory can now, or will soon be able to, re-supply prescription oral contraceptives and treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections. These services are game changers for women, significantly reducing the time and hassle of accessing essential healthcare.

This 25 September, join in the celebrations. Visit your local community pharmacy, grab a photo with your pharmacist and celebrate their service using the hashtag #WPD2024!
