Our commitment to Pharmacists
At Blooms The Chemist, we’re united by our commitment to creating greater health and wellbeing for all.
That includes our fellow Pharmacists; people just like you.
But the pandemic, staff shortages, and ongoing industry challenges have taken their toll.
Experienced Pharmacists are leaving the profession in droves.
Pharmacists early in their career are feeling burnt out, disillusioned and unappreciated.
And with the new scope of practice on the horizon, it’s only natural to feel overwhelmed, overworked, and undervalued.

Better together: Why collaboration and prioritising self-care are key to delivering better patient care.
Join us for an empowering panel session.
With the pharmacy sector experiencing greater pressure in the last few years, this thought-provoking panel session explores the value of industry collaboration and why prioritising our own wellbeing are essential to delivering better patient care and creating a healthier workplace.
Experts inside and outside pharmacy discuss the impact of staff shortages, ongoing industry challenges, extended scope of practice, and the lingering effects of the pandemic on Pharmacists on the frontline. Our panellists provide practical strategies for collaboration amongst healthcare practitioners to improve the profession, and real-world self-care strategies to create a healthier work environment, build resilience and help us thrive through uncertainty and change.
