Vicki is one of two nurses at the pharmacy dedicated to ensuring customers receive the treatment and care they require.
It's a vast and varied job that covers everything from wound care, the baby clinic, flu vaccines and diabetes checks to name just a few.
"I absolutely love my job, the staff here are fantastic which makes it really enjoyable and helping the community and seeing families grow is really special," begins Vicki.
During her twenty five years service Vicki has seen some big changes in the area and some particular improvement in health services for residents.
"Back then there really wasn't much available for people outside of the GP, now we are able to take care of people when needed and refer them on when necessary."
"I've had 5 children myself and now I weigh my grandchildren. It's great to be able to contribute to the health and well being of generations of families."
Customers are able to access the nurses at the pharmacy from Monday to Friday between 10am and 2pm.
As the longest serving staff member at the pharmacy, Vicki will be working on her anniversary but says it's exactly where she would like to be to celebrate twenty five years taking care of the community and enjoying the company of her colleagues.
