Jing is our Mandarin speaking full-time pharmacist, who is responsible for our long term conditions patients, Clozapine patients and handles all general medicines enquiries. She is also trained to do emergency contraceptive pill and Trimethoprim consultations and has a special interest in internal medicines.
"I enjoy taking responsibility for problems that can be solved, whether it is a medicine enquiry or something else. I like creating services and programmes to help our pharmacy stand out and attract new customers. I like helping customers with the education of their medication, personalising particular patients' preferences and enjoy all aspects of the Long Term Conditions service. My goal every day is to make a difference in the lives of my patients. If they are sad or angry, I get great satisfaction from encouraging them and seeing them happy again."

TIMEA
Jake is the youngest pharmacist on our team. He loves patient consultations and has a special interest in sexual health.
Bob is the most recent member to join our pharmacy team. He is originally from Korea and his sense of humour and friendliness have quickly made him a customer favourite.
"I am passionate about everything to do with pharmacy and health, and enjoy engaging with the people in our community. I love my job and the daily duties of a pharmacist, such as verifying the accuracy of prescriptions, reviewing possible side effects, assigning the correct dosage, recommending the most suitable non-prescription drugs, and instructing patients how to take their medications."
Timea is the owner of Henderson Discount Pharmacy as well as a pharmacist. She has a special interest in sleep problems, medicine adherence issues and oral health. She is passionate about quality service in general, her main focus is on minimising barriers to enable patients to take their medicines.
"I get a lot of meaning from my work and I see my work as an extension to who I am rather than a job. I enjoy hearing my staff laugh and have a great satisfaction from getting feedback from my customers. I know I have done my job right when I see my team members and customers flourish and live happy and fulfilling lives. I always wanted to be a pharmacist and having my own pharmacy was one of my dreams come true. My other passion is positive psychology and over the years I have implemented a lot of strategies in my business. Doing the two together gives me a great satisfaction and lead to a fantastic environment where I enjoy working and interacting with my team and my customers. Research shows that positivity ripples in an upward spiral and I would like to be the initiator of that ripple and create wonderful outcomes."

I aim to create a fantastic customer experience, greeting everyone with warmth and kindness, explaining prescriptions and going the extra mile with deliveries and follow-up phone calls. I enjoy doing extra things for the pharmacy team as well, from cleaning the kitchen to buying groceries and emptying the rubbish. I'm also there to give a helping hand or offer kind advice (or buy chocolate bikkies ☺)."
