Pharmacist in charge at Soul Pattinson Baulkham Hills, Phuong Nguyen, has spent the past part of 10 years working in community pharmacy.

"We, as a team are especially fortunate that our pharmacy services a great cross section of patients/customers with which we have developed a great relationship.
"Many of our regular customers are considered as family among our team, and we thoroughly enjoy sharing their stories and experiences. Being able to help them when they are sick, unwell or just in need of someone to listen to them, is what makes my role worthwhile and fulfilling."
Mr Nguyen said that at Soul Pattinson Chemist the staff were committed to people's everyday health and well-being.
"Throughout the year, we run free screening programs for key health issues including a heart check program," he said.
"We will provide a cholesterol and blood pressure test to assess your risk of cardiovascular disease which is currently the number one cause of death in Australia."
This program will take place in store from March 18 to April 14, 2012.
The pharmacy also has a range of Valentine's Day gift ideas.
