Anne Leversha recently volunteered to assist with a Clinical Pharmacy Workshop, which was held in the Pacific Region nation of Vanuatu. Anne is a Senior Lecturer with the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, based in Traralgon.

Anne’s friend, Amanda Sanburg, is the Chief Pharmacist for Vanuatu, a position which is funded through the Australian Government Overseas Aid Program, AusAID.

Amanda organised a four-day workshop, which was supported by the World Health Organisation. The event was opened by the Acting Director of Health for Vanuatu and pharmacists from Vanuatu and another Pacific Region nation, Solomon Islands, attended.

The success of the event was partly due to its broad program in which lectures, case presentations by each participant and team building activities were included.

Anne’s direct contribution was presentations on analgesia and pain management, medication chart review and team building. In addition, she used  her broad knowledge of pharmacy and pharmacy education to comment on the other topics covered.
