A pharmacist has been suspended for one year and fined $5,000 after stealing thousands in cash from her workplace over three years, allowing a colleague to take the blame, and then lying to the Pharmacy Council and a new employer to retain her job.

The woman, who has name suppression, falsified her practising certificate to hide conditions placed on her by the council and failed to disclose her criminal conviction.

The Health Practitioners’ Disciplinary Tribunal described her actions as a serious abuse of trust and unethical, opting to suspend rather than cancel her registration by a narrow margin. She must work under strict conditions if she returns to the profession.

  1. Even little Pharma is corrupt. Small wonder since they are complicit in peddling nostrums that, for the most part, don’t work.

  2. Such ‘entitlement’…and the potential to assassinate for $$ by prescribing a super dose, the wrong dose, or another med which would be labeled incorrectly getting into the target’s hands & bloodstream!
    Similar to the ongoing Covid bio-weapon ‘vaccines’ still being pushed and now being given by Pharmacist / Chemists.
    BUT-
    Don’t worry; Health NZ has stated that such slow assassinations are ‘safe & effective’ despite the evidence presented by NZDSOS and thousands of pages from individuals whose lives have been destroyed!
    In the cover world of ‘Spec-Ops’, sniper rifles, bombs, etc. are not the weapons of choice; poison is! And who better todo that with than a ‘Company’ (CIA / FBI) Pharmacist!
    While this is going on, meds for cancer treatments and neurological conditions are side-tracked, ignored, or are illegal in NZ forcing ‘Medical Vacations’ to Thailand, India, the U.S. and Mexico!

  3. This Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal needs to be disbanded. The members on it appear to be completely out of touch with reality. That pharmacist should have been permanently barred from dispensing medicine.
    Remember this is the same tribunal that tormented a nurse from Tokelau exercising her right to free speech telling her fellow islanders living in New Zealand the truth that the covid jab was unsafe. That nurse was suspended from practice for a year and hit with almost $25,000 in tribunal costs.

    • Medical corporations always protect their ” own”.
      They know too much about each others ( crimal) or mal practices.
      That kind of corporative “tribunal” should be disbanded. Law should be applied in indiscriminate fashion. But it is not,. They pretend to ” save” life, you see…
