March is Pharmacist Awareness Month

Each March Pharmacist Awareness Month (PAM) celebrates the contributions that pharmacists make to our health care system and helps educate Canadians about the health care services and advice their pharmacists are now delivering.

Pharmacists across Canada have had a widely expanded scope of practice over the past decade that has them doing more for their patients than ever before. We want to celebrate the great strides the profession has made, highlight the health care services now offered at the pharmacy, and encourage Canadians to Think Pharmacists this March.

Our PCN Pharmacist, Nandini Desai, provides a wide scope of patient care from diabetes education, medication reviews and tobacco cessation support. Ask your PCN family doctor for a referral to visit Nandini for support.

March 14th is Dietitians Day!

Happy Dietitians Day! Today we celebrates dietitians as regulated health care professionals who are committed to using their specialized education to translate the science of nutrition into terms everyone can understand. Our PCN is grateful to have Andrea, Ginette and Sally as our dedicated and knowledgeable dietitians; our patients, member physicians and community are lucky to have you all!
