Gerard Stevens

Gerard graduated from Sydney University in 1967 as a pharmacist and opened his own pharmacy at the age of 26.

He introduced the Webstercare range of blister pack systems into Australia in 1980. This has revolutionised how medication is administered in aged care facilities throughout the country and New Zealand.

Today Gerard is the Managing Director of Webstercare, a company that specialises in medication management systems and medication compliance. Gerard spends most of his time and energy on the development of systems and processes that complement the principle of the Quality Use of Medicine. Over 40% of all the pharmacies in Australia now use a Webstercare system of one sort or another. As a direct response to a need identified by Central Australian Jane Josif of Ngaanyatagere Gerard has also developed the Clamshell concept.
