Pharmacy Awareness Week

***On behalf of the School of Health and Wellness***

On Tuesday March 14th the Pharmacy Technician Students will be celebrating Pharmacy Awareness Week!

Students will be collaborating with community volunteers to offer education and services to the public. Pharmacy Technicians are crucial members of the health care team. We are required to participate in health promotional activities, collaborate inter-professionally to ensure continuity of care and we must feel comfortable connecting patients to supports and services within the community.

On Tuesday March 14th between 10am and 1pm in the main foyer of Sutherland Campus Fleming College Pharmacy Technician students will be working with the following community volunteer professionals to deliver a unique complimentary service to college staff, students and members of the public. Please encourage your students and peers to attend.
