💛 R U OK?

Sometimes, a simple question can make a big difference. Today, we’re reminding our community that it’s okay to not be okay, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

As pharmacists, we’re here not only for your health and medicines, but also to listen, support and have a conversation whenever you need one. 🫶🏻

So, check in with someone today. Ask the question. Listen without judgement. You never know how much it might mean to them. 💛

💨 Know your asthma triggers
💜 Understand your asthma medicines
🌬️ Check your inhaler technique
📋 Keep your asthma action plan up to date
👩‍⚕️ Speak with your pharmacist or healthcare professional if your symptoms are changing

🎓 From Waiting to Working in Australian Pharmacy

Many overseas-qualified pharmacists struggle to secure their first role due to a lack of Australian pharmacy experience.

🧠 National Stroke Week: Recognise the Signs, Save a Life

A stroke can happen suddenly — knowing the signs and acting FAST can make a life-changing difference.

Remember FAST:
🔹 F – Face: Has their face drooped on one side?
🔹 A – Arms: Can they lift both arms? Is one arm weak?
🔹 S – Speech: Is their speech slurred or difficult to understand?
🔹 T – Time: If you notice any of these signs, call 000 immediately.

Pharmacists play an important role in stroke prevention and awareness by:
💊 Helping manage medicines for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and heart health
🩺 Supporting medication adherence and safe use
❤️ Identifying risk factors and encouraging healthy lifestyle changes
🤝 Working with patients and healthcare teams to reduce stroke risk

This National Stroke Week, share the FAST message — because every second counts.

Living with pain is a reality for millions — but no one should face it alone. 💙

This National Pain Week 2026, we recognise the importance of listening to people’s experiences, improving access to effective pain care, and supporting research and innovation that help transform the lives of those living with chronic pain.

Pain is more than a symptom — it can affect mobility, sleep, mental wellbeing, and overall quality of life.

💊 Pharmacists play an important role in pain management by providing advice on safe and effective use of medicines, checking for side effects and interactions, supporting self-management strategies, and working alongside GPs and other healthcare professionals to help people achieve better health outcomes.

This National Pain Week, let’s raise awareness, encourage conversations, and support people living with pain. 💚

☀️ Feeling tired, weak, or experiencing frequent aches? It could be a sign of Vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D is essential for strong bones, healthy muscles, and a well-functioning immune system. Low levels can cause fatigue, muscle weakness, bone pain, and increase the risk of fractures over time.

The good news? Safe sunlight exposure, a balanced diet rich in Vitamin D, and supplements (when recommended by your healthcare professional) can help restore healthy levels.

If you’re experiencing symptoms or think you may be deficient, speak with your doctor or pharmacist about getting your Vitamin D levels checked.

💛 Your health starts with prevention.
