pharmacists
Jocelyn is our Mandarin and Cantonese speaking full-time pharmacist, who is responsible for our long term conditions patients, Clozapine patients and handles all general medicines enquiries.
"Pharmacy has always been a passion of mine and in the years that I have worked as a pharmacist I’ve come to really love the patient interactions that are involved. I enjoy helping people solve problems and seeing them walk out the door with a smile on their face really makes my day. I have a particular interest in cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and I enjoy counselling patients who are recently diagnosed with these conditions or starting new medications as I know how much of an impact that one conversation can have."

TIMEA
To me being a pharmacist is a privileged position, and I have always had a long-held ambition to become one. I fully understand that although it is a demanding and challenging role, it is also a very rewarding one especially when I am able to help my customers achieve high quality health care and a better understanding of their medications. I enjoy assisting customers with their medication queries and providing recommendations where appropriate, counselling them and at the same time getting to know them more personally.
Bob 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."
