LiveLife Pharmacy in Bowen has been faithfully serving the local community of Bowen for almost a decade with the steadfast guidance of Pharmacy Manager, Rebecca Edgerton, who also happens to be a Bowen local. Since the purchase of the pharmacy in 2016 its operating hours have increased to seven days a week.
Previously located in Gregory Street, the popular local pharmacy recently relocated, opening its doors at the new George Street location on March 18. This move marks a significant milestone for the pharmacy.
The opening of the new location was inspired by a desire to benefit all in the Bowen community. Manager Rebecca Edgerton said she was thrilled to bring this newly revitalised retail and medical service to the community.
“We wanted to refresh, revitalise, modernise and improve the flow of the pharmacy to be better able to focus on the services we provide to the community,” shared Mrs Edgerton.
The new George Street location was chosen for its convenience in the central heart of Bowen. It has excellent street frontage and is easily accessible for all. It also has the advantage of being handily located next to a medical centre and close to a dental practice, helping to create a trifecta of convenience for Bowen residents in obtaining their healthcare needs.
Mrs Edgerton also shared that the new location of the LiveLife store had previously been a pharmacy as far back as the 1950’s.
All these factors combined to allow LiveLife Pharmacy to be able to focus on what matters the most to them, serving the pharmaceutical needs of the community.
LiveLife Pharmacy provides services such as expert advice, medication reviews and packaging, blood pressure and diabetes checks, allergy relief, vaccinations and assistance with absence from work certificates.
Pharmacists at LiveLife have also been undertaking additional study under the Queensland Community Pharmacy Scope Of Practice Pilot scheme. This trial program aims to facilitate the delivery of high quality primary healthcare services for Queenslanders, particularly those who reside in rural and regional areas.
This training will allow LiveLife Pharmacy to undertake additional medical management and even prescribing activities, helping pharmacists at LiveLife to prescribe medications for certain ailments like ear infections, some skin infections, impetigo or assistance with travel health.
All of this puts Livelife Pharmacy team in a better position to expertly deliver essential primary healthcare needs to the Bowen community.
