Noosa Pharmacist Jason Sammut is this year’s Australian Patients Association (APA) Most Outstanding Community Pharmacist for 2023.
Mr Sammut was presented the award at the sixth annual APA Awards event held at Melbourne’s Sofitel Hotel in July.
He beat a strong field to take out the award for exceeding his patients’ expectations at his ‘LiveLife Pharmacy’ at Noosa Junction, Queensland.
Jason Sammut has been a pharmacist for 28 years after graduating from the University of Queensland in 1995 and has worked in the profession both here and in England.
He was also recognised for going above and beyond for his local community including visiting the vulnerable, checking on the sick, elderly and the bereaved.
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia personally congratulated Mr Sammut on his achievement with Guild Executive Director Suzanne Greenwood present to see him win the award.
Pharmacy Guild National President Professor Trent Twomey says Jason displays all the attributes the Guild encourages in the pharmacy profession.
“As a passionate community pharmacist, I encourage our profession to go the extra mile to make a difference for our patients,” Professor Twomey said.
“It’s great to see Jason’s efforts being fittingly recognised and he follows in the footsteps of the most dedicated pharmacists who have previously been named ‘Most Outstanding Community Pharmacist’ by the APA.”
The Guild would also like to congratulate all APA award winners from the night.
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia is a proud sponsor of the APA Annual Awards 2023.
