Recently, Elaine decided to have a career change. She gained knowledge and practical experience in compounding pharmacy and has been working in this area of pharmacy for the past five years. She has particular interests in compounding medicines for humans such as in dermatology, women’s and men’s health, nutritional and hormonal medicine, pain management, paediatric and dental health, and helicobacter pylori eradication program medicines. She enjoys the diversity, depth and complexities that compounding pharmacy brings and values the provision of quality and customisable care and service to patients and other health-care providers.

When Elaine isn’t at the pharmacy, she enjoys travelling, playing tennis and spending precious time with her beautiful boys.
