“Our place within the community is something we are very proud of,” Ms Davies said.

“We have a great relationship with James Cook University and often get asked by students from there about what it’s like working in remote community pharmacy, and it’s not simple for us to answer because we are so much more than just a pharmacy.”

Ms Davies said she and the staff were in constant communication with doctors, nurses, allied healthworkers, Aboriginal Health Workers including mental health teams to ensure they were providing the best outcomes for the 15 remote island health centres and the community of Thursday Island.

“We also love to push ourselves to offer something better within our community like visiting the elderly to provide medication information and support, community information events, educational events at the primary and high schools, and the implementation of an annual TI Pharmacy iPad Science/Maths award to all schools in the region to encourage local children to invest in their education and hopefully pharmacy as a future.”

Ms Berrill said she and the pharmacy’s staff were continually on the lookout for ways to improve.
