“I never thought I would need to call PSS…..”
The complexities of the pharmacy workspace and the marketing disruptions created by government and competitors is placing strain on individual pharmacists like never before. Compassion has evaporated from various workplaces like never before, and turmoil looks to become a permanent order of the day for some time to come. Thank heavens for the ongoing service of PSS and the dedicated band of volunteers that provide it. A donation here is a worthy donation.
No-one plans to need to seek support, sometimes things just don’t go the way we planned. When Australian pharmacists, pharmacy interns or students need help the volunteers from the Pharmacists’ Support Service (PSS) are there on the other end of the phone.
Just call 1300 244 910 any day of the year between 8.00am and 11.00pm EST.
Over the last 20 years the PSS volunteers have given over 120,000 hours of their time. You never know when YOU or someone close to you may need to ring PSS. For volunteers to provide this service an infrastructure is needed. The main costs incurred by PSS include telephone expenses, training of the volunteer team, insurance, part-time staff and administration. Though PSS is very appreciative of the ongoing support of the pharmacy organisations listed below but funds are always needed.
Now is a good time to give as the end of the financial year approaches. Donations over $2.00 are tax deductible. Also we have just made it a lot easier for you to give to PSS.
