I very much enjoy being part of this dynamic team and giving healthcare advice and support to my patients. Community pharmacy for me is so much more than filling prescriptions and giving advice on medication usage, indications and potential side effects. I love to empower and encourage my patients by educating them on ways to make better diet and lifestyle choices, thus improving their quality of life in the long run. It is very rewarding to see my patients improving and attaining their healthcare goals and even reduce their medication. “
