The Pharmacy Guild annual Christmas drinks function 2018
Attendees of the Pharmacy Guild's annual Christmas drinks function enjoyed a feast of festive fizz and food in celebration of 2018 wrapping up. For a little bit of fun, the function room at the Foxtail Champagne and Cocktail Bar on Wellington's wharf is only accessible by walking through a cupboard with a secret door that opens to a large space adorned with chandeliers and with waterfront views. Invitees were from all parts of the sector, including the Ministry of Health, Medsafe, the Pharmacy Council, the Pharmaceutical Society, Storbie, Green Cross Health, Midland Community Pharmacy Group and many more.
