In this month’s issue of America’s Pharmacist®, we sit down with Trent Twomey, national president of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, on what it’s like operating as a community pharmacist Down Under and how practice is evolving there. He also shares lessons on how to effectively advocate for changes in government health care policies and the global movement to advance patient care in community pharmacies.
This issue also comes with a focus on mental health care in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month. In it, we cover how one pharmacy partnered with a mental health center to support an often-overlooked patient population and why Mental Health First Aid training benefits both patients and pharmacy teams.
