“It’s been so rewarding to watch Eman grow from an intern, to a fantastic Pharmacist, and then into a confident owner. We’ve continued to support each other in our journeys, so it was amazing to see her achieve success as an owner,” said Zena.
“Blooms gave me the confidence to become a Pharmacist-owner. The Support Office is truly on your side. I can make a call or email and I know they’ll get back to me. Having that network behind me really helps me know I’m not alone,” said Eman.

Pharmacist-owners at Blooms lean on their peers and share best practices through owners’ meetings, conferences, and development opportunities. In turn, this helps elevate the standard of care across every community served.
Eman and Zena are not the only ones - 82 per cent of Blooms owners feel more connected to other Pharmacists through the network.
Blooms is a collaborative network where partners are hand-picked through the alignment of their values to the common vision - building a better and stronger network.
“Blooms go above and beyond for us. You develop a connection of mutual understanding with others for the greater good, with great people, and a support network that genuinely believes in you,” said Eman.
Let’s explore how we can grow stronger – together. Book a meeting or session with Eric or Narelle during APP 2026 or visit the Blooms The Chemist stand at APP to discuss ownership.
