Had a great morning yesterday (Monday) participating/facilitating in a Case Based Study at the College of #Pharmacy Rady Campus with some 2nd year 'doctor of pharmacists to be'. Great interaction and confidence displayed by the #students ... Our #Healthcare Future looks bright!

#Pharmacists in the Yukon are now authorized to prescribe and administer travel and publicly-funded vaccines for Yukoners aged 5 and over. Good to see these measures are now permanent.
Hey @MBGov, during these challenging times, #pharmacists have been crucial in providing access to care for Manitobans. Their expertise and dedication have been invaluable in ensuring that people can get the medications and advice they need, safely and efficiently. #mbpoli#Covid

Hey @MBGov, please address the inequality in publicly funded #pharmacy services in #Manitoba. Our province deserves the same level of access to medications and treatments as other provinces. Let's work towards a fair and equitable #healthcare system for all Manitobans! #mbpoli
