Plenty to sing about at Capital Chemist Wanniassa

You've heard about the singing detective? Here are the singing pharmacists.

We have to applaud the efforts of the staff at Capital Chemist Wanniassa for using some real ingenuity - and pretty handy vocal cords - to deliver some important health messages.

Pharmacists Elise Apolloni and Natasha Jovanoska have been regularly posting  videos to the Capital Chemist Wanniassa Facebook page which shows them singing little ditties about health.

The songs are written by Elise and sung by the duo, the performance recorded in the shop on a mobile phone before being uploaded.

"Our customers find it quite hilarious if they are lucky enough to be in the pharmacy when we're recording," Elise said, with a laugh.

"We've even had to edit out some applause and clapping at the end of some of them."

Elise said the songs got a greater reaction and seemed to sink in a little deeper than the average health message.

"We've just found it's a great way to connect with people on social media," she said.

"We're not selling anything. We're just trying to promote a health message."

The staff at the chemists go by the hashtag #Wanniwhitecoats - perfect band name too.

The latest one posted this week was for World No Tobacco Day ("Let us help you breathe better straaaight​ away!"

And we can't go past this one to help people sleep better, with the pair looking like some avant garde European band from the '80s.
