2022 PATY state finalists announced

Following a record number of nominations, this year’s Pharmacy Assistant of the Year (PATY) Award state finalists have been announced.

“This year we received a record number of nominations and were blown away by the high-quality nominees,” Professor Trent Twomey, National President, Pharmacy Guild of Australia said, as he announced the finalists.

“Congratulations to the 64 finalists across Australia.”

The Pharmacy Guild of Australia/Maxigesic PATY Award is recognised as the premier award for pharmacy assistants in Australia, which was created to recognise pharmacy assistants who go the extra mile in helping their communities and developing their own careers.

A part of the PATY Award, the Glucojel Super Star Awad recognises outstanding customer services.

The state finalists now have the opportunity to participate in their respective state workshops held from 15 to 26 August.

The workshops provide a unique professional development opportunity for finalists. 

Following participation in the state workshops, a winner will be selected to represent each state and territory. 

The state winners will then go on to participate in the face-to-face national workshop held on Thursday 27 October at the Pharmacy Assistant National Conference in Brisbane. 

For the first time in two years, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2022 PATY Award and Glucojel Super Star Award will be announced in person during the Conference Dinner at the Pharmacy Assistant National Conference on Saturday 29 October. 

“I wish all finalists the best for the upcoming workshops and look forward to the announcement of the state winners later this month,” Professor Twomey said. 

Pharmacy assistants can register for the Conference at the early bird rate and hear the announcement of the 2022 PATY Award in person, as well as undertake professional development and network with peers.
