Commitment to Personal Growth
Our pharmacists go through comprehensive training to ensure competency. We also undergo continuous training to keep ourselves updated with the latest trends in compounding medicine.
WHAT IS COMPOUNDING?
Compounding is the art and science of tailor-making medications for unique needs and preferences. It allows a physician to prescribe and a pharmacist to prepare medications into different dosage forms or into preparations no longer commercially available.
Our goal at West Lindfield Pharmacy is to work closely with your physician to improve the outcome of your treatment and health.
History of Compounding
Compounding is not new. In fact, the origin of pharmacy started with the individual preparation of medicines. This practice rapidly declined in the 1950’s when drug manufacturers began to produce standard preparations. The pharmacist’s role was then shifted to that of someone who no longer prepares, but dispenses only standard medications.
Over the last 20 years, physicians have been appreciating again the benefits of customised medications for their patients. Coupled with modern technology, innovative techniques and research, compounding has become more popular.
There are now more than 1,500 compounding pharmacists throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe and New Zealand. About 43,000 compounded prescriptions are dispensed daily, with about 3,500 doctors taking advantage of this in the United States and Australia.
Here in Australia, West Lindfield Pharmacy is also serving a widespread group of doctors and patients to meet their unique needs.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES
Graeme Skinner B,Pharm MPS.
Graeme has been a practicing Pharmacist since graduating from Sydney University in 1965. He owned and managed a Pharmacy in Winston Hills, Sydney for 30 years and then in 1996 he took over the ownership of West Lindfield Pharmacy at Lindfield.
Over the last 10 years Graeme developed a healthy interest in natural medicine and subsequently this lead to his interest in compounding. Graeme has been particularly involved in the arena of menopausal and andropausal therapies and continued his extensive training in Pharmacy Compounding Techniques and Pharmaceutical Care for Veterinary Patients. He developed a keen interest in compounding pharmacy after discovering the tremendous benefits it can offer doctors and their patients.
Graeme and Roz Skinner trained and qualified as Compounding Technicians at P.C.C.A. – Houston in April 1999. He then returned from America with enthusiasm and incorporated a compounding laboratory into his existing retail Pharmacy.
Our Compounding team consists of qualified technicians and pharmacists and we service national and international clientele.
