CLOSED tomorrow Friday 25th September for public holiday.

The Taste Lab Ouyen - Street Kitchen & Eatery will be open tomorrow instead for coffees โ˜•๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜‰.

And for others, like intern pharmacist Ang, she will most likely be studying for board examinations next month ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’Š

However you spend the day, please enjoy โ˜บ๏ธ

โœ… We will reopen Saturday 9AM - 12Pm

๐Ÿ˜‚ Do real men cry?

Absolutely not.

Pharmacist A1 ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ’Š was obviously just suffering from allergies. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿคง๐ŸŒพ
A particularly aggressive case, apparently. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Fortunately, help is available! ๐Ÿ™

๐Ÿ“ธ For contextโ€ฆ this photo was taken while we were renovating/relocating the pharmacy, right in the middle of all the stress and chaos of the move. Pharmacist A1 was, perhaps, a little overwhelmed... and feeling veryโ€ฆ human ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚

Thankfully, he was carried across the finish line by the amazing Ouyen Pharmacy and Taste Lab crews. Much appreciation to the team who kept everything moving when A1 wasโ€ฆ experiencing his โ€œallergies.โ€ ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ˜‚ Believe it or not, A2 did a very good job of consoling right here !! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿ™

Recently, Pharmacist Audrey dropped into Ouyen ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ’œ on her way to visit beautiful Lake Tyrrell. ๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿš—

Audrey is one of our much-loved tutor pharmacists ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ’Š for the Monash University Graduate Certificate in Pharmacist Prescribing course ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ“š, so it was wonderful to see her outside the classroom! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ™Œ

She also brought some very welcome words of encouragement ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘ as all three of our pharmacists head towards some pretty significant milestonesโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’Š๐ŸŽ“

๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ“š Pharmacists A1 & A2 are preparing for their final oral examinations in Pharmacist Prescribing this week and next week. ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿฉบ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿคž

Today I turned 35 ๐ŸŽˆ

Birthdays are absolutely not my thing ๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธโ€ฆ but my partner kindly reminded me that 35 is halfway to 70 ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคฃ

It did get me thinkingโ€ฆ ๐Ÿง

Iโ€™ve been fortunate to spend a lot of my life chasing things Iโ€™m genuinely passionate about ๐Ÿš€; building Ouyen Pharmacy ๐Ÿ’Š and advocating for better rural healthcare. ๐ŸŒพ

Itโ€™s brought me enormous professional and personal satisfaction and happiness โ˜บ๏ธ, but along the way I probably havenโ€™t given my own health the same attention. ๐Ÿ˜… Blood pressure, weight, sleep and exercise could all use some work!๐Ÿคจ

So, 35 is my year to change that. ๐Ÿ’œ

More time with family, my partner, friends and Happy the dog ๐Ÿ•. More walks around Ouyen Lake. Better food (perhaps slightly less Rainbow Beef ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿคฃ), more exerciseโ€ฆ and actually using my sleep apnoea CPAP! ๐Ÿ˜ด

Iโ€™m incredibly grateful ๐Ÿ™ for our Pharmacy and Taste Lab teams ๐Ÿค, and for a community that has embraced us, supported our ideas ๐Ÿ’ก and made Ouyen feel like home. ๐Ÿซถ

And while I work on my own health, remember that weโ€™re here to help with yours too. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ

Vaccinations ๐Ÿ’‰ , health checks ๐Ÿฉบ, medication reviews๐Ÿ“‹, sleep apnoea testing๐Ÿ˜ด, pharmacist consultations ๐Ÿ’Š. Or simply a chat about where to start!

Thank you, Ouyen. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿฅน

๐Ÿ”’ PRIVACY MATTERS

Some conversations are better had in private. ๐Ÿคซ

Thatโ€™s why we specifically designed **three private clinic rooms** into our new premises - for your comfort, privacy and peace of mind.

If youโ€™d like to speak privately with one of our pharmacists ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ, simply ask at either counter - **no explanation needed**. Weโ€™ll do our best to accommodate you.

๐ŸŒ™ After-hours appointments are also available...

โœ… Weekdays | 5 PM โ€“ 7 PM | By appointment

P.S. Missing our wonderful actresses, Bridie and Maddi, who have moved on to uni in the big smoke! ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ™๏ธ We might need to start recruiting a new Ouyen Pharmacy acting department! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Pharmacist Alex (A1) ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ’Š is currently in Brisbane โœˆ๏ธ undergoing clinical placement with Dr. Anchita Karmakar in her multidisciplinary GP clinic.

It is refreshing to be surrounded by inspiring and inspired clinicians, and learn from each other. ๐Ÿ’ก

The placement has developed also a newfound respect ๐Ÿซก ๐Ÿ˜ฒ for the incredible work of our primary care GPs and NPs who see the massive array of life ๐Ÿ’œ and the complications/struggles/journeys that arise from it. ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿฅบ A job that requires such skill, knowledge and compassion.

A1 also completed clinical placement locally with NP Di Thornton from Mallee Border Health Centre ๐Ÿฉบ.

Clinical placement๐Ÿค“ is a part of our Pharmacist Prescribing studies with Monash University๐Ÿ“š. It has been so refreshing and a valuable experience. Empowering us as pharmacists to better understanding the roles of our colleagues, while brainstorming ๐Ÿง  ways in which we can better collaborate clinically for the benefit of our mutual patients๐Ÿซถ.

Pharmacist prescribers are never wanting to replace the role of a GP or NPโ€ฆOur goal is to complement care and provide better triage and improve health access for those who wouldnโ€™t ordinary access services. Something that is so important in our rural/remote isolated town ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‘ Itโ€™s all about teamwork ! ๐Ÿค

In the end, knowledge is power โœŠ, right?

A1 and A2 are on track to graduate ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽ“ ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŽ“by October. More services to follow in the pharmacy ๐Ÿ‘ Keep an eye on this space! ๐Ÿ‘€

๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿคง HAYFEVER? NOT TODAY.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ Weโ€™ll be hosting a Consultant Clinician Pharmacist in Allergy & Asthma for dedicated 30-minute consultations.

Appointments can help with hayfever and seasonal allergies, persistent nasal symptoms, asthma management, inhaler technique and getting the best results from your current treatments.

๐Ÿ’œ 30-minute consultation - $50

Because avoiding every paddock in the Mallee until summer probably isnโ€™t a realistic treatment plan. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Better breathing. Fewer sniffles. More enjoying the Mallee.

๐Ÿ“… Bookings are now open for MONDAY 28th September (visiting service): https://app.medadvisor.com.au/Network/G48TE6

๐ŸŒ… ๐Ÿ‘ฃApparently knowing whatโ€™s good for you and actually doing it are two different things. Rude. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Pharmacist Alex (A1) ๐Ÿ’Š is on a bit of a health journey himself๐Ÿฅธ. Work, study, renovations, moving house, family coming endsโ€ฆ somehow self-care doesnโ€™t always make it to the top of the list. ๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿซ 

But better health doesnโ€™t have to mean changing everything overnight. Each day is filled with countless opportunities to make a small change, that eventually add up! ๐Ÿ’ก

๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ Go for a walk, even if it is short (short is better than none!)
๐ŸŽ Choose the fruitโ€ฆ sometimes ๐Ÿ˜‚
๐Ÿ˜ด Get to bed at a regular time
๐Ÿ’จ Actually use your CPAP if you have sleep apnoea ๐Ÿ’ค
๐Ÿ’Š Take your medicines regularly

This morning A1 and Happy hit the streets of Ouyen on his morning walk, and conveniently bumped into his MTHCS dietitian ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚, after recently discussing the goal of walking more! ๐Ÿค—

Nothing like some unexpected accountability! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅฐ (chance encounter was not planned at allโ€ฆ we swear!!!๐Ÿคฃ)

Weโ€™re lucky to have plenty of support locally too for any health journeys you may be onโ€ฆ expert pharmacists, GPs, NPs ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿผโ€โš•๏ธ โ€ฆ

๐Ÿ“ฑ Did you know that Ouyen Pharmacy is a Telehealth access point?! ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ’ป

Sometimes getting access to healthcare in the country isnโ€™t quite as simple as it should be! ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿš—

Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re pleased to help our patients connect with Telehealth services when they need them. ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿ’Š Run out of a regular medication and canโ€™t get into your usual clinic? We can help connect you with an appropriate Telehealth prescriber to get you back on track.

๐Ÿฉบ Need to speak with a healthcare practitioner about other treatment options? We can help point you in the right direction and connect you with an appropriate service.

โœ… D you have an exisiting health provider who has requested that you attend virtually but youโ€™re not sure where to start and donโ€™t feel particularly tech savvy? ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ No worries!

We have THREE private clinic rooms ๐Ÿฅ where you can attend your Telehealth appointment in a quiet and confidential space.

We can help get everything connected ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ“ž, then leave you in privacy to have your consultation. ๐Ÿ”’

Telehealth isnโ€™t about replacing your regular GP or clinic. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ

Itโ€™s another option to make sure that living rurally doesnโ€™t unnecessarily become a barrier to accessing healthcare when you need it. ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ’œ

Just another way weโ€™re working to bring better access to healthcare, closer to home. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ’œ

๐Ÿ“ž Give us a call or pop in and have a chat with the team!
