    Why did I become a Pharmacist? I was exposed to pharmacy at an early age as my dad was a pharmacist so it was a natural progression for me. I loved the fact that people could access professional treatment, advice and guidance so readily in the community.

    I strongly believe that my mother's medical journey was a big push for me to become a pharmacist. Ensuring patient safety and preventing harm from the use of medicines is an area where pharmacists are uniquely positioned to intervene. Through services that Ashburton provides, pharmacists are leading the way in improving prescribing, and reducing inappropriate medicines use and medication errors.
