We’re sharing a session hosted at the Australian Pharmacy Professional conference, earlier this year.

During the session, titled “Are You The Future of Pharmacy?”, we heard from three inspirational business leaders about the stepping stones that led them to this point in their respective careers. 

Our panelists were:

• Lucas Patchett is one of two founders of the Orange Sky Laundry. Orange Sky  came to life when two best mates had a crazy idea to put two washing machines and two dryers in the back of a van, and wash and dry clothes for free. Lucas and his best mate, Nick, embarked on a journey to build and grow the world’s first free mobile laundry service for people experiencing homelessness.
• Melanie Moses, a pharmacist and owner of Blooms the Chemist in Orange. Melanie is passionate about providing healthcare and services in rural areas, particularly for health outcomes for the local Indigenous community and the disadvantaged and disabled.
• Brad Butt, Managing Partner of Cooleman Court Pharmacy in the ACT and Founder of Men’s Health Downunder; a pharmacist-led men’s health clinic. Brad’s been awarded a host of awards including the category and overall winner of this year’s Guild Pharmacy of the Year award.

Enjoy.
