Ienaam Khatib MPS loves being a community pharmacist. But despite only being registered for a year, she’s already questioning how long she can last in the profession. 

And Ienaam isn’t alone. Across the country, a lack of fair remuneration and little recognition, on top of the pressures of the pandemic, has many pharmacists asking: ‘Is this what I signed up for?’

In this special episode of Pharmacy & Me, hosts Peter Guthrey and Hannah Knowles get to the heart of the issue, speaking with Ienaam and pharmacy owner Caroline Diamantis MPS about what needs to change when it comes to remuneration.

They also speak to PSA Public Affairs and Communications manager Candice Burch about how PSA is advocating for pharmacists – and how individual pharmacists can help create change. 

If you believe pharmacists deserve better remuneration and greater recognition, this is an episode not to be missed.

When an injury cut short his career in construction, Sean Richardson MPS threw himself into pharmacy study and discovered a newfound passion for healthcare.

Now a locum in Mount Isa, Queensland, Sean is always looking for the next opportunity, whether it’s implementing an opioid substitution program or finding ways to assist palliative care patients.  

In this episode of Pharmacy & Me, Sean speaks with hosts Peter Guthrey and Hannah Knowles about his experience as a mature-aged student who didn’t finish high school, working as a locum (and not wanting to leave) and knowing your worth as a pharmacist.
