🥹🏅 What an incredible honour.

This evening, Pharmacist Alex A1 👨‍⚕️💊 was awarded the 2026 PSA Victorian Pharmacist Medal 👏🏆

The award recognises excellence in pharmacy practice and celebrates pharmacists making a difference at the grassroots level. It acknowledges the critical role pharmacists play as experts in medicines; wherever medicines are prescribed 💊, dispensed 📦, administered 💉, or reviewed 📋 … ensuring patients receive safe, effective, and high-quality care. 💜👨‍⚕️.

To be recognised by the Victorian branch of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia 🇦🇺💜, the peak body representing pharmacists across ALL areas of practice, is both humbling and deeply appreciated.

From a small rural pharmacy in Ouyen 🌾🏡 to a stage in Melbourne 🌃🏆, this recognition is proof that rural healthcare can lead the way. Being rural doesn’t hold us back… it challenges us to think bigger 💡, innovate more 🚀, and continue finding new ways to improve healthcare access and outcomes for our community 🚜🌾🐑💜.

While the medal may have one name on it, it reflects the support of an incredible team 👏, healthcare colleagues 🤝, family and friends 💜, and a community that continues to place its trust in us every day.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey 🙏😊.

🙌 A Blast from the Past! 😯 📰

A little while ago, the wonderful team at the Ouyen District History & Genealogy Centre
dropped off some newspaper extracts from the North West Express dating back to April 1970. 💜

The articles celebrated the opening of the very building where Ouyen Pharmacy stands today! 🏛️ 👏

It’s fascinating to look back more than 50 years and see how much our community has changed… and how some things remain the same. The building has witnessed generations of locals walking through its doors, each with their own stories, memories, and connections to our town. 💜

Cheers to our building’s next chapter in this its future history. 😊

Thank you to the Ouyen District History & Genealogy Centre for preserving and sharing these pieces of local history. 📚

Do you remember the original opening, or have memories of the building over the years? We’d love to hear them below! 👇😊

But more important than any building, award or qualification is our purpose 💜

🌾 Improving access to healthcare in rural communities.🤝 Looking after our patients.💡 Finding innovative ways to address rural health inequities.💜Making a positive difference in the lives of the people we serve.

This recognition belongs to our entire team 👏

Every member of our team has embraced change, continued learning, and challenged themselves… all in the pursuit of excellence, and providing exceptional care to our community 🙌

Thank you to our patients, our community, and our team for supporting us on this journey 🥹🙏 This recognition is something we are incredibly proud of… not because of the award itself, but because it reflects the impact we are making together 💜🏆

🏡💊 Recently, Pharmacist Alex visited Lynn to conduct a free Home Medication Review.

Home Medication Reviews 💊 are a great way to make sure your medicines are working for you, not against you.

The purpose of a Home Medication Review is to:

✅ Ensure your medication list is current and accurate for all members of your healthcare team, including your GP, Nurse Practitioner, nurses and specialists.

✅ Address any questions, concerns or medication-related problems you may have.

✅ Improve the way medications are used, including storage, timing, dosing and administration.

✅ Identify opportunities to simplify treatment and reduce the number of medications where appropriate.

Medication reviews are conducted in the comfort of your own home and can help improve safety, confidence and quality of life. 🏠 💜 💊. Best of all, they are completely FREE!

If you would like a free Home Medication Review 💊 like Lynn, speak with your GP, Nurse Practitioner or healthcare provider about a referral. 😊

One of the final pieces of our renovation puzzle has finally arrived… only about 8 months after it was paid for. 🤣

Apparently our signage decided to take the scenic route across the globe and Australia before finding its home in Ouyen. 🚚📍

The good news? 🫣😉

Our new category signage is now installed throughout the pharmacy, making it easier than ever to find what you’re looking for. 🛍️👀

✅ Better navigation
✅ Easier shopping
✅ Less wandering around pretending you’re browsing when you can’t find the vitamins 💊🌱 😜

Sometimes the best improvements take a little longer than expected… a lot longer in this case. 😅

But we think the end result looks fantastic, and we hope it makes your experience at Ouyen Pharmacy even better. 💜

Recently, Pharmacists Alex A1 and Alex A2 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️💊 brushed up on manually measuring blood pressure using a stethoscope 🩺 and blood pressure cuff.

It was fascinating listening to the sounds of the heart 💜 and using physics to measure blood pressure without relying on automated devices.

These days, monitoring your blood pressure and heart health can be easier than ever 💡

That’s why we’ve partnered with La Trobe University to support research 🔬 📚🤓 into new and more convenient ways for people - especially those in rural communities 🌾 🐑 to access heart health monitoring.
