Mummy Short Legs is a pharmacist by trade and has worked in hospitals, community pharmacy, internationally and now conducts home visits. Pharmacy isn’t just about filling prescriptions and sticking labels on boxes.

Pharmacists can be found:

  • Preparing and dispensing medicines of all shapes and sizes, including making chemotherapy, total parenteral nutrition, tablets, capsules, eye drops, you name it, from scratch.

  • Advising patients on how their medicines should be taken and used in the safest and most effective way

  • Advising patients and other health professionals about medicines, including about drug interactions, dosages and potential adverse effects.

  • Giving advice and supplying non-prescription medicines

  • Working in pharmaceutical industry, government policy and research and development, on hospital advice committees or working on clinical trials

  • Visiting aged care facilities or patient’s homes conducting medication management reviews

  • Promoting health, disease prevention and proper use of medicines

  • In the military, legal fraternity, academic teaching, in rural and remote areas and volunteering abroad.

Funnily enough, pharmacists in France must be able to recognize all mushroom types that are brought into their pharmacies and indicate which ones are edible.
