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.

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