Author: Erica Li Over the weekend, 37 pharmacy students completed a CPR and First Aid course. A special thank you to Clarissa, the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia and Damien from Vaxworks for providing an informative course tailored to our profession. The students loved the hands on experience and practice with the dummies and first aid kits. For all those who missed out, be sure to look out for the event next year!
