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.”
The workshops in Wellington and Grenfell will be held as yarning circles, thoughtfully created for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, where everyone is welcome. These sessions will offer a culturally safe space to share stories, ask questions, and learn from each other.
Whether you’re managing your own medicines or supporting someone else, these workshops will help you feel more confident and informed.
