A highlight of this role was Kirsty’s pivotal role in the transition of the Mount Kuring-Gai site and the amalgamation of three brands – Slade Pharmacy, McBeath and Fresenius Kabi. Over this time, she also helped acquire new business opportunities and maintained contacts and relationships with existing hospital partners while demonstrating exceptional leadership skills, driving operational efficiency, and fostering a culture of excellence within the pharmacy teams.
In 2022, Kirsty became the General Manager of Pharmacy Services across NSW and ACT, overseeing all aspects of Slade Pharmacy hospital pharmacy and retail operations. Through this role, she successfully managed strategic planning, team leadership, and operational management for all Slade Pharmacies in the area.
Today, Kirsty owns multiple pharmacies across NSW and says she is looking forward to the next chapter in her career.
“This is an exciting time to be part of the group’s pharmacy division as we continue to evolve and lead in the delivery of pharmacy services and management and deliver comprehensive services,” said Kirsty.
“For up-and-coming pharmacists, I would say jump at every opportunity presented to you, it will help you grow.
“Pharmacy is always evolving and it’s a real privilege to be at the forefront of patient care and ensuring we continue to maintain operational excellence to deliver quality services to our partners and patients.”
Kirsty stepped into her new position in January 2024 and her extensive experience and proven track record in operational efficiency will undoubtedly contribute to the continued success of Slade Pharmacies across Australia.
