Free Workshops To Help You Understand Medicines

15 October, 2025 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

Expert pharmacists John Woodward and Lisa Pulver from MedicinesEd will be running the workshops.

Community members across Central West NSW are invited to attend a free workshop held between October 20 to 24 in Welling­ton, Cowra, Canowindra, Grenfell or Parkes.

These interactive workshops are designed for anyone who takes medicines or cares for someone who does – including family mem­bers, carers and support workers.

Western NSW Primary Health Network (WNSWPHN) is funding these workshops.

They are led by expert pharmacists John Woodward and Lisa Pulver from Medi­cinesEd. Each workshop includes a free morning or afternoon tea, and offers a re­laxed, welcoming environment to learn, ask questions, and share experiences.

“We want people to feel confident when using medicines,” says Lisa Pulver. “These workshops are about giving people practical tools and knowledge to make safe, informed choices.”

Topics will include:

• How to use medicines safely and effec­tively

• Understanding side effects and how to manage them

• Tips for talking with doctors, pharmacists and nurses

• Where to get good information

Whether you’re managing your own medi­cines or supporting someone else, these workshops will help you feel more confident and informed. You’ll leave with practical tips, a better understanding about medicines, and the confidence that you can manage them more effectively.

Workshop Details:

• Cowra: Tuesday, 21 October, 12:30pm – 3:00pm at Cowra Information and Neigh­bourhood Centre

• Canowindra: Wednesday, 22 October, 10:00am–12:30pm at Canowindra Con­nections Centre.

To book or learn more call John on 0406 730 656.
