Despite the turmoil from bushfires and particularly Covid-19 last year, inspiring stories about community pharmacies have surfaced everywhere and now rural, regional and remote pharmacists have a chance to detail their `Back to the Future’ moments as the theme for the latest `Why I Love Rural Pharmacy’ video competition.
Pharmacists and their staff are asked to submit a 30-45 second video with the winners of Best Video and People’s Choice being announced on Thursday 20 May during the Rural Pharmacy and Indigenous Health Stream at APP2021 on the Gold Coast.
Pharmacy participants can share how they have introduced change into their practice and reflect on how things used to be done and how they’ve since adapted.
Some of these changes may be permanent and others temporary. Some may have required careful planning, while others may have required quick, on-your-toes thinking.
They also have the chance to score bonus points by incorporating the signature item – which this year is a skateboard – into the video with double bonus points if it’s a hoverboard. Hashtags for the video message are: #iloveruralpharmacy #backtothefuture
It its fifth year now, the video competition `Why I Love Rural Pharmacy’ themes have included: `Come Work With Me’, `What My Pharmacy Will Look Like in 2025’ and `Rural Pharmacy First Dates’.
Entrants must be an employee or owner of an MM 3-7 pharmacy and entries close by 12 midnight AEDT Tuesday 27 April 2021.
