Franklin Afinjuomo from Benalla has represented Victoria in Priceline Pharmacy’s Australia’s Favourite Pharmacist competition.

Franklin stood out among pharmacists from 211 stores across the country to be chosen as a finalist in the competition, as voted by Priceline Pharmacy customers.

Franklin went head to head with 16 other finalists for the title of Australia’s Favourite Pharmacist, and said that although he did not take out the final title, he was proud to have been selected as a finalist.

Amanda Connors, Priceline Pharmacy’s director of marketing, said the competition was a great way for Priceline Pharmacy customers to show their support for their local pharmacist.

‘‘We’re always looking for different ways to acknowledge our pharmacists for their hard work, and this time we decided to put the power in the hands of our customers,’’ Ms Connors said. ‘‘We have received an outstanding number of votes across all stores, over 10000 in total, which goes to show how happy our customers are with the service they receive from their local Priceline Pharmacy.’’

Since October last year customers placed their votes in 211 Priceline Pharmacy stores around Australia, noting why their chosen pharmacist should be crowned Australia’s favourite.

All 17 finalists then went before a panel of judges including Priceline Pharmacy’s Health Sisters, Ada Nicodemou and Ita Buttrose.
