The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
An
overlooked
role
in
our
health
care,
System,
pharmacy,
techs
and
pharmacists
are
an
essential
part
of
our
Health
Care
system.
As
we
know,
March
is
Pharmacy
Awareness
Month
a
time
when
we
take
the
time
to
celebrate
on
the
contributions
of
Pharmacists
and
pharmacy
techs
for
their
commitment
to
providing
safe
and
effective
use
of
medicine.
They
are
Frontline
workers
who
work
with
our
doctors,
nurses
and
other
Healthcare
professionals
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
access
to
medication
that
they
need
and
ensure
their
safety.
A
Pharmacists
and
techs
are
trained
Healthcare
professionals
who
have
an
important
role
in
improving
the
health
outcomes
for
patients.
They
work
with
other
parts
of
healthcare
team
to
provide
patient-centered
care.
This
often
includes
medication,
management,
education
and
much
more.
The
knowledge
they
have
of
their
patients
and
the
medication
is
vital
to
making
sure
that
the
patients
receive
the
right
resources
and
right
direction,
while
making
sure
that
the
patient
is
aware
about
potential
side
effects,
allergies
or
medication
interactions.
When
we
visit
a
pharmacy,
we
know
that
we
will
be
able
to
access
their
services.
A
Pharmacists
work
tirelessly
to
make
sure
that
they
can
provide
great
care
for
their
patients.
During
Pharmacy
awareness
month
and
every
day
after
I
want
to
encourage
everyone
in
our
community
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
the
important
work
that
pharmacists
and
their
staff
do
and
show
your
appreciation
of
their
role
within
the
Health
Care
System.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
many
amazing
pharmacies
in
Vernon,
monashi
and
I'm
forever
grateful
for
the
exceptional
Services.
They
provide
to
people
happy
Pharmacy
awareness
month
and
thank
you
for
your
service.
