Charles Sturt University (CSU) student Mr Daniel Flavel has returned to his studies after receiving a prestigious Rural Pharmacy Student Award and attending the National Rural Health Alliance Conference in Cairns in May. The second year pharmacy student was nominated for the award by his lecturers at CSU for dedication to his studies. “Daniel is a country boy who, after graduating, is intending to work as a pharmacist in rural Australia,” said lecturer with the School of Biomedical Sciences at CSU at Orange, Dr Heather Robinson. “We believed he would benefit greatly by attending the conference.” The Rural Pharmacy Student Award is an initiative of the Rural Pharmacy Workforce Program (RPWP), established in recognition of the key role pharmacists play in maintaining the health of all Australians, particularly in rural and remote Australia.
