Our Team

Our team are experts at what they do.

Our pharmacists provide the best possible clinical care for patients. From helping patients understand and use their medications safely, to working collaboratively with care teams and interpreting the latest clinical evidence for patient benefit, the expert skills, abilities and commitment of our pharmacists are the heart of the Pharmacists Clinic. 

Our health administrators are the backbone of the Pharmacists Clinic. They support all aspects of clinic operations including booking patient appointments, helping pharmacists prepare for appointments, sharing information with care teams and ensuring all clinic processes run smoothly.
