It’s The Tip Of An Iceberg
Editor’s Note: A few months ago i2P promised to do some background research on the state of the pharmaceutical industry and other health professions and why there seemed to be an underlying culture of disruption and suppression, particularly in policies surrounding issues like vaccination.

The Latest Research on Holistic Health – Are you up to it?
Pharmacists demand the latest evidence- and research-based information on things related to complementary medicines. Some of us were lucky enough to hear an array of international speakers at the recent Research Symposium presented for the 4th consecutive year by BioCeuticals.

Local Education –Forums to the future
As a management consultant my objective was always to delegate an owner-manager out of their business. The process usually took two years and during that period every single staff person was retrained to a different way of thinking about their workplace through on-the-job mentoring and the process of delegation.

A Healthy Relationship?
The 2nd Annual Blackmore’s Institute Symposium 2015, held in Melbourne late last month, was titled “Translating Research into Practice”.

3D-Printed Liver Cells Commercially Available
I’ve sometimes wondered, though, why people care so much about space when there are so many real problems back on Terra. One company that is attempting to improve the quality of life on Earth is Organovo. This year will be described in history books as the year that the first 3D printed liver cells were…

Are Medical Jihadists Becoming a Reality?
In 2011, just six days after the Paris office of Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical magazine came under threat for having run cartoons of the prophet Mohammed, and it subsequently was gutted by a fire bomb. The staff put out a new issue with a cover drawing of a bearded, presumably Muslim man kissing a…

Remote Interviews Made Easy with Speakset
Planners in health have considered alternatives for helping people “age in place”, living in their own home for as long as they are able. In this technological age we are inundated with “apps” that engage with existing electronic items, principally mobile phones. One new item that could fit into a “pharmacy-in-the-home” project is the UK…

The Best Conference Ever! – an Outstanding Scorecard for ASMI
It’s not always the case that when I have attended a conference that I come home feeling enthused with a new energy drawn from ideas and perspectives of intelligent speakers. But it was the case for the ASMI annual conference that coincided with their 40th anniversary celebrations. From the seamless organisation on the day, the…
