As a pharmacy professional, you have a tremendous impact in your work environment and the community in which you work, even if you are there for just one day. This impact can be either positive or negative. Our wish for you is that you, your clients, your staff and your patients experience you as a positive impact in each interaction and work environment.
Do you know and understand what self-care means for you?
Take a moment, say right now, and google "self-care for pharmacists" in the search box. What comes up? Isn't it interesting how what you will have found is that the focus of self-care in relation to pharmacists has nothing to do with the pharmacist as a person. As healthcare professionals, we often think of self-care in relation to the patients we serve and how best we can facilitate them to optimise their own health, yet are completely oblivious to the fact that our own personal self-care is essential to peak professional performance.
Self-care is about actively looking after your own mental health and well being so that you can more effective support your patients and the people you work with.
To commit to your self-care throughout your life, you are investing in yourself, your relationships and your professional career. Self-care can be aligned to practicing professionally and legally in the professional practice domain, self-management skills in the organisation and management skills domain, as well as leadership and decision-skills in the in personal skills domain of the Core Competency Framework set out by The PSI. It is an essential part of your professional development activity that will help you to "bounce back" cognitively, emotionally and physically each day over the long term. This is because you are consistently developing your resources so that you can manage challenging situations more effectively. In the course of doing our daily work we are often confronted by the more challenging aspects of life. We are asked to 'do more with less', and can feel constantly under threat as to when the next HSE cut is coming down the line. Working with patients and their families going through difficult times and with colleagues, who may be stressed, can test out patience and push us to our limits.
By ignoring our own self-care and living in a constant cycle of reactivity with little or no proactiveness, we expose ourselves to:
- Overwhelm
- Anxiety
- No Structure
- No direction
- Poor teamwork and communication
- Increased stress levels
- Disillusionment
- Burn-out.....
All the clinical knowledge in the world is of no benefit to anyone if you are not in a place where you can practice with confidence, safely and effectively. By practicing self-care on yourself, you are also modelling self-care to your patients, peers and colleagues.
So, what does self-care mean to you now? Take a moment and ask yourself the following questions.
What impact do you have NOW?
What impact do you WANT to have?
HOW are you going to bridge this gap?

Meet Rachel Dungan -- The Pharmacist Coach
Uniquely positioned as a highly experienced pharmacist, trainer and a credentialed professional coach, I support pharmacists to achieve their personal and professional goals, make a positive difference in patients' lives and increase their positive impact.
I am pharmacist with over 20 years experience in patient-facing roles in hospital and community. I have held roles as superintendent pharmacist, supervising pharmacist, pharmacy manager and currently focuses primarily on coaching and training pharmacists and their teams to achieve their potential.
I mentor pharmacy interns to prepare for their OSCEs (focusing on developing their confidence, mindset and consultation skills to showcase their skills). I have over 15 years experience as a pharmacist trainer formerly with the ICCPE and currently with IPU Academy. I was part of the Hibernian Healthcare leadership team involved in the integration of the pharmacist flu vaccination service into pharmacy practice. I have co-developed and delivers QQI courses Leadership Development Coach Training and Train The Trainer Training for pharmacy leaders and recently I am lead trainer with CPD Sessions on the Supporting Mental Health in Pharmacy Practice Programme commissioned by the Irish Institute of Pharmacy.
I am a peer support pharmacist with the Irish Institute of Pharmacy. In 2016, I participated in the ePortfolio Review Pilot Process and therefore am perfectly positioned to share my experience to support pharmacists in this regard.
Rachel is also a credentialed coach member of the International Coaching Federation and is ICF Ireland's current Life/Wellness Coach of the Year and founder of 4Front Pharmacy Solutions.
Karen Ahern – Pharmacist, Health and Wellness Coach
Karen completed her pharmacy degree from The Robert Gordon University in 2003 and since completing her pre-registration year in Bristol in 2004, she has spent this time working in community pharmacy between Ireland and the UK as a locum, support pharmacist and supervising pharmacist. Karen enjoys the patient-facing aspects of her role as a pharmacist most and since completing her training as a health and wellness coach in 2013, this has further enhanced her skillset in this area along with giving her a whole new perspective on how we as pharmacists interact with our patients on a day-to-day basis. This year, Karen will act as a facilitator at IIOP's Supporting Mental Health in Pharmacy Practice. Karen is also currently training to be a Medical Coach and is an ICF member

Frequently Asked Questions
What lead Rachel and Karen to develop this programme?
Even though, both Rachel and Karen had been working in pharmacies in the same town for a number of years, it wasn't until three years ago, when attending an advanced coach training programme focused on health and wellness coaching for healthcare professionals, that their paths crossed. It was on this training that they discovered their shared a passion for learning new ways of supporting patients to actually do what they wanted to do and help them achieve THEIR healthcare goals. Both Rachel and Karen proclaim to have experienced profoundly different results by using these coaching skills with their own patients and resolved to find ways to share this learning with you.
Does the Transformation Prescription TRx Self-Care Online Programme count as CPD?
Yes. It is non-clinical CPD. Rachel is an IIOP peer support pharmacist and has participated in the IIOP ePortfolio Practice Review Pilot and is ideally placed to support your CPD.
I do a lot of clinical CPD already. Isn't that enough?
It depends! There are a number of programmes which offer high quality clinical content. Whether this counts as CPD depends on whether you have recorded what you have learned and HOW you have implemented that into your pharmacy practice.
HOWEVER, many pharmacists do not realise that 4 of the 6 domains of the CORE competency framework for pharmacists are NON-clinical. Therefore it is CORE to our professional competency that we also DEMONSTRATE that we have engaged in CPD in the NON-clinical areas of Personal Skills, Organisation and Management Skills, Professional Practice and Health Promotion.
Up until now there has been very little focus on personal development options, especially options that specifically understand the context self-care. Online Programme is created as a pharmacy specific option to support your engagement with non-clinical CPD.
I don't have time.
The total time investment is just 15 minutes per day for those who choose the self-study option only. If you upgrade to the Group programme, there will be four 90 minute sessions over the six weeks and if you upgrade to the One-to-One programme you will get an extra four 60 minute coaching sessions. This includes completing your CPD (which you MUST find time for anyway), as well as all the time-saving benefits you stand to gain by becoming clearer, more focused and more effective at managing your self and your time.
Remember, time passes by anyway. The question is, "Is how you choose to spend your time helping you to achieve your goals, serve your patients even better and reach your potential?" If yes, acknowledge yourself for your self-management skill in this area. If not, ask yourself what you need to do differently to get a different result? Can you afford NOT to invest 15 minutes per day in yourself?
If you want to fast-track your progress and results, you can avail of the premium package, which includes one-to-one coaching in addition to the group programme.
It sounds great but I can't afford it.
We all have limits on our financial resources. We also all find ways to afford what is most important to us. So the question isn't really "Can I afford this?" A better question is "How much of a priority am I placing on me in my own life?" "How much am I willing to invest in me to achieve the career / life / health I desire?"
If you were to analyse where you are spending your money at present, and use it instead to invest in your own personal and professional development, what could be your return on investment?
Can you guarantee me that if I invest, the Transformation Prescription TRx Online programme will work for me?
No! However, you can be guaranteed that if you don't try it, you will never know.
Another guarantee? This programme is designed to support you to IMPLEMENT your learning into your personal and professional life. If you choose not to invest the 15 minutes per day in preparing, engaging and implementing your action plan, it is guaranteed that you will not achieve the results you seek.
The Transformation Prescription TRx Self-Care Programme will provide you with the structure, framework, guidance and support whilst you provide the content to give you with the optimal conditions to enable you to achieve your goals.
What will make it more likely to work for me?
To be truly successful in this Programme, you will need the following Success Ingredients:
- Be committed. Choose to take personal responsibility for showing up for our group calls and implementing your action plans.

What's the difference between TRx and LEAD?
What results have other pharmacists had by work with Rachel?
"I had been stuck in the back of the dispensary, doing blister packs, PCRS claims, dispensing, administration, rosters. I didn't even notice that I had become numb and was working on auto-pilot, well within my comfort zone. I had a vague idea that I was bored and unfulfilled at work but I had lost hope of pharmacy being any different. I met Rachel at a conference and what struck me at that meeting was her positivity, hope and conviction in the value of pharmacy, if only we started to believe in ourselves as a profession. It shook me! What would it take for me to be proud to be a pharmacist again? Working with Rachel, I discovered that while many things are outside of my control (such as FEMPI cuts), there is a LOT which is within my control and when I started focusing on what WAS within my control, everything changed. Now we have redesigned the way the pharmacy works. My technicians manage the dispensary and I am finally patient-facing. Everyone is more fulfilled, sales are up and the patients are delighted." DC
********************************************
"My focus and outlook has changed completely. Before working with Rachel, I had lost confidence in myself to the extent where I was making errors, which made things worse. I had become very negative about myself, my colleagues and pharmacy. I knew I had to find a way to break the cycle. I took a leap of faith with Rachel. The result? I reconnected with my strengths. I stopped taking things so personally and I recovered my motivation and confidence. Rachel was relentlessly persistent in helping me take the steps required to tackle things head on and I can say it has transformed my whole life." KL
********************************************
"Before I worked with Rachel, I had a work related experience which resulted in me feeling like a total failure. I thought I could get through it by working harder and harder, but I just got burnt out. This caused me so much stress that I ended up taking sick leave. During this time I realised I was re-playing my failure experience over and over and over again in my head and I decided something had to change. I wanted to get a different perspective. Coaching with Rachel, I got that. As a result, I have learned from the strategies I had been using that didn't work for me and learned new skills and perspectives that have completely changed how I operate at home and at work... for the better! I honestly belief that I would not be back working if I hadn't reached out for help." AS
********************************************
"Rachel and I are both participants on an advanced medical coach training programme. Given my work and home commitments, I had been struggling to find the time to complete the CPD assignments between live sessions. Rachel has been a member of a health and wellness coach mastermind group for 3 years and she offered to set up a Medical Coaching Mastermind Group. She liaised with the course co-ordinators, ICF Ireland, all the other participants, set up a virtual meeting room and coordinated a weekly mastermind group. The benefits? We now have a structure and dedicated time to complete our CPD. We have peer support and encouragement. We learning from observing each other's approach. We have the opportunity to give and receive peer coaching and feedback. And the virtual platform offers an amazing ability for people from four different countries to connect with and learn from each other in a supportive environment. I am a personal and professional development advocate and this is THE SINGLE BEST learning environment I have ever encountered, bar none. If you ever have an opportunity to engage in an online mastermind group with Rachel, take it! You won't regret it."
