Episode 69: International Women’s Day
International Women’s Day is celebrated around the world as a day to recognize the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It’s a great opportunity to help accelerate gender equality and raise awareness and visibility of this cause. This year’s International Women’s Day theme – Choose to Challenge – is one that resonates closely with community pharmacy; we saw time and again during 2020 the way our industry challenged itself to respond and lead, and its pharmacy’s opportunity again to step up and challenge for a more inclusive world.
In this episode, we welcome Kirsten O’Doherty to discuss some of the themes around International Women’s Day. Kirsten originally qualified as a hospital pharmacist before joining the pharmaceutical industry, moving from clinical research and medical roles into commercial and senior leadership positions. She has extensive board and committee experience and was appointed to the Australian government’s COVID-19 Vaccines Science and Industry Technical Advisory Group.
We also welcome Michelle Bou-Samra. Michelle is a practising pharmacist, management consultant and Strategic Director of Fullife Pharmacies, with 30 years’ experience in the industry. She currently holds the positions of President of the Australasian College of Pharmacy, PDL Queensland local advisory committee member, and is a Director of the Fullife Foundation.
Over the years, Michelle has had extensive experience with representation of the profession on a diverse range of committees, industry bodies and within organisations, culminating in her involvement in the preparation for the Fourth Agreement negotiations, and currently as a Guild Pharmacy of the Year Judge and AHPRA Mentor.
