Every year on 25th September, we come together to celebrate World Pharmacists Day, a day dedicated to recognising the crucial contributions pharmacists make to healthcare systems around the world. In 2024, the theme set by the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) is “Pharmacists: Meeting Global Health Needs,” a timely reminder of the vital role pharmacists play in addressing global health challenges.
Why Celebrate World Pharmacists Day?
Pharmacists are on the front lines of healthcare, providing expert advice, medication management, and much-needed support to patients. Whether it’s guiding someone through a new prescription, offering advice on managing chronic conditions, or being a source of reassurance during health challenges, pharmacists are often the first point of contact for many people seeking health advice.
At Keane’s HealthPoint Pharmacies, we are proud to be part of a pharmacist-owned and led team that always puts patient care at the centre of everything we do. Our pharmacists are more than healthcare professionals – they are trusted members of our local communities, working tirelessly to ensure the well-being of every person who walks through our doors.
The Theme for 2024: “Meeting Global Health Needs”
This year’s theme highlights the evolving role of pharmacists in addressing the health needs of people across the globe. As the healthcare landscape changes, pharmacists have taken on even greater responsibility. From offering vaccinations and health screenings to providing support for mental health and chronic conditions, the scope of pharmacy has expanded beyond simply dispensing medications.
Pharmacists are problem solvers, meeting the demands of an increasingly complex health environment. We’re also advocates for healthier lifestyles and proactive healthcare. Our commitment to ensuring access to essential medicines, personalised care, and expert advice has never been more important.
What Makes Keane’s HealthPoint Unique?
What sets our pharmacy apart is the personalised care we provide. As a pharmacist-owned and operated business, our entire approach revolves around providing the best possible care for our patients. Every team member is dedicated to supporting the health of our community, and our pharmacists lead the way by offering the knowledge, compassion, and expertise needed to navigate healthcare decisions.
This World Pharmacists Day, we’re taking the opportunity to reflect on the impact we’ve made locally, but also on the broader role our profession plays in the healthcare ecosystem. Our pharmacists aren’t just healthcare providers; they are advocates, educators, and trusted health advisors.
