  • UK Supermarket Reversal – Offloading Pharmacies Instead of Acquiring Them

    UK Supermarket Reversal – Offloading Pharmacies Instead of Acquiring Them

    Sainsbury Supermarkets occupy the Number Two position in the market share chart of UK supermarkets. But it has shown a decline in market share and turnover in the last financial year, and this has been attributed to the discounters Lidl and Aldi. Aldi had the greatest impact with its sales increase being to the order…

  • Pharmacists – Who Works for your Best Interests?

    Pharmacists – Who Works for your Best Interests?

    Now that the dust has settled around negotiations for 6CPA and that word “certainty” has crept back into the vocabulary once more, we are supposed to now relax and get on with the job of future-proofing the profession of pharmacy. But what “certainties” can we count on? With the current business model still having a…

  • Menopause and “alternative” therapies

    Menopause and “alternative” therapies

    The recurring press chestnuts just keep rolling on and on, just as predictable as the four seasons. It seems that medical efforts to classify menopause as a disease state have failed miserably. Women are now seeking advice on other options from their medical practitioner. However, because of poor training, poor understanding of what role menopause…

    A question for the Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott

    Currently the Abbott government is removing parents’ right to choose how many vaccines are injected into their children’s bodies in the first 19 years of life. The new social welfare policies called ‘Choices for Families” are removing all objections to vaccination other than a medical exemption signed by a doctor. This means that families will not be…

  • Special Olympics change the world

    Special Olympics change the world

    First Lady Michelle Obama has had the pleasure of attending many spectacular events, but I would venture to guess that opening the 14th Special Olympics World Games at the end of July had to rank with the most inspirational. It wasn’t because of the musical performances, fireworks, or even the flaming torch that was carried from…

    Forefront Newsletter – We need a national system to tackle Australia’s prescription-drug addiction

    It is time for doctors and pharmacists to unite in demanding a national system for the Electronic Recording and Reporting of Controlled Drugs (ERRCD). For too long, governments have dawdled and blame shifted, instead of putting this vital medication management tool in place. Coroners in virtually every jurisdiction have consistently called for an ERRCD to…

    EDITORIAL for Monday August 10, 2015

    Welcome to i2P (Information to Pharmacists) E-Magazine for Monday 10 August 2015. This week we draw your attention to a Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) media release that, in part, states: “With pharmacists’ roles expanding into more diverse areas of patient care, the issue of patient consent is coming to the fore. In the August…

  • The Precautionary Principle – Why did it disappear in formulating vaccine policy?

    The Precautionary Principle – Why did it disappear in formulating vaccine policy?

    These days, when you raise any comment or query regarding the effectiveness of a vaccine, the mainstream media label you as an “anti-vaxer” and either ignore you or write you up in a derogatory fashion. And isn’t it strange that a universal call for “safe vaxing” is not even mentioned, because it does not suit…

  • Clinical Pharmacy – a US Working Model

    Clinical Pharmacy – a US Working Model

    There is an excellent US publication available online and its title is “Drug Topics”. I probably have some affinity because the range of topics discussed ranges from pharmacy management to clinical pharmacy, somewhat similar to material published in i2P. One recent article caught my eye, and it was titled: The new pharmacy: Revenue streams, Part…
