Did you know?
We have a deadly pharmacist at NCACCH; her name is Ashlee.
About Ash:
Ash has been a community pharmacist for 15 years, and prides herself on being an expert on all things medicines!
She is a Sunshine Coast local and covers the entire Sunshine Coast region to Gympie and surrounds, helping people to better understand their medicines, simplify their regimens and provide medicine support.
Ash prides herself on continuing her education, staying current on medicine updates, changes to therapies and new drugs available. When Ash is not working as a pharmacist, she enjoys bush walking, spending time with her dogs as well as hanging out with family & friends.
Ash is kind and approachable and would love the opportunity to have a casual chat with you about your medications, medical conditions, or devices you use to help manage your chronic conditions
