“The most rewarding part of being a community pharmacist is the relationships I’ve built with my patients. Since joining the Rathmines branch in 2009, I’ve developed strong ties within the community. Supporting patients in managing their health, answering their questions, and seeing the positive impact we can make on their lives is deeply fulfilling.
