Brian’s nomination stems from his exceptional dedication as a community pharmacist, consistently going above and beyond to serve his village.
Brian Fitzgerald is a Pharmacist at Mari Mina Pharmacy in Toomevara.
One person nominating Brian described his commitment, saying, “Brian is always so kind and attentive whenever I visit his pharmacy. He truly goes above and beyond every single day. Nothing is ever too much trouble for him. Such a wonderful addition to the village.”
Beyond his role as a pharmacist, Brian was also recognised for his charitable contributions.
Earlier this year, during a charity mission to Africa, he generously sponsored the necessary medications for the entire team, even going as far as mailing supplies to those unable to visit his pharmacy. His actions, both at home and abroad, reflect his unwavering commitment to his community and his profession.
The nominee added, “In our community, Brian has become a treasured presence, known for his unwavering professionalism, courtesy, sensitivity, and genuine desire to help others. His dedication to his clients consistently goes above and beyond, whether he’s collaborating with medical professionals, sourcing specific items, or simply lending a listening ear.
Brian’s exceptional commitment to the field of health and medicine deserves our deepest appreciation and recognition. We are fortunate to have someone as devoted as Brian in our village, and we thank him wholeheartedly for his service.”
Reflecting on his recent nomination, Brian shared his surprise and gratitude, saying, “I was surprised but humbled to be recognised by the community.” As a dedicated pharmacist, he prioritises the well-being of his patients each day, whether by addressing questions, providing guidance, or helping them understand their prescribed medications. “For many, the pharmacy is often their first stop for advice and support,” Brian explained. “My job is to make sure they receive the best care possible.”
Looking to the future, Brian envisions pharmacists playing an even greater role in healthcare. “I believe we’ll see pharmacists stepping up to prescribe more, which can ease the strain on GP practices, shorten wait times, and help people access the care they need more quickly.”
