AFT partners PATY again

Following two years as major sponsor, AFT Pharmaceuticals brand Maxigesic has continued its support for pharmacy assistants and will again be the major sponsor of the Pharmacy Assistant of the Year Award (PATY).

Now in its 13th year, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia/ Maxigesic Pharmacy Assistant of the Year Award, is promoted as the premier award for Australia’s 35,000 pharmacy assistants.

Guild National President George Tambassis says the award represents the best opportunity to recognise the outstanding contribution pharmacy assistants make to the community pharmacy industry.

“Pharmacy assistants are at the forefront of community pharmacy, providing care, compassion and connecting with people to make a difference,” he said. “With the support of our major partners, we look forward to acknowledging and celebrating more pharmacy assistants than ever before.

“Alongside Maxigesic, GuildSuper and Retail Pharmacy will also support the award. In addition, I’m pleased to once again welcome Glucojel as sponsor of the Super Star Award, a subset of the main award which recognises outstanding customer service from our pharmacy assistants.

“We’re pleased to partner with AFT Pharmaceuticals in 2019, utilising the Maxigesic brand, as well as Glucojel, GuildSuper and Retail Pharmacy to deliver this important and respected award.”

Nominations for the award will open on Thursday, March 7.
