🔔 Call to Action for Nevada folks! 🔔 (scroll to bottom) Nevada BOP is stepping up BIG TIME and taking action on the results of the survey they conducted! 👏🏽 I believe this is the first concrete proposal in the nation for safe staffing requirements in community pharmacy. Take a look: https://lnkd.in/gsVcjuBC What are your thoughts on their safe staffing levels, and why? While we may all have varying opinions on what constitutes a safe staffing level, the fact that this draft has been set forth is a monumental win for communities and their pharmacies. This proposal was not made blindly by corporate executives, this was in direct relation to responses from Nevada pharmacists working on the ground right now. ACTION: If you are in Nevada, please attend the BOP meeting on 5/29 to make a public comment (they typically give you 2 minutes). Whether it is in support or to suggest an amendment, **showing up is the only way we get to solutions.** We are the change we’ve been waiting for. Don’t just yell from the stands. Get in the arena. We’ll be right beside you. #TogetheRx #ThePharmacyGuild #SafeStaffingNow #Pharmacists #CommunityPharmacy #PizzaIsNotWorking

Dear Pharmacist(s) A big thank you to all those who have casted their votes on the South African Pharmacy Council’s (SAPC) secure voting site. To those who have not done so, you have until Monday 6am, 16 October 2023 to make your vote count. Let us all remember that a united profession is a united Statutory Power. The SAPC, being a creature of statute, like any other Statutory Body has a role to ensure that all executive organs of state at the national level of government are answerable to it to the extent permissible by law, and maintaining oversight over the exercise of national government authority, and the implementation of legislation, in our case the Pharmacy Act 53 of 1974 (Pharmacy Act). At the end of its periodic term, a Statutory Body ought to be judged by what it has accomplished during its tenure. Accordingly, the SAPC is expected and obliged in terms of S3(b) of the Pharmacy Act, amongst other things, to advise the Minister of Health or any other person on any matter relating to pharmacy. The aforesaid object of the SAPC should and must be the yardstick with which the 2024-2028 Council is judged by the profession. Lastly, and most importantly the Council consists of at least 20/25 pharmacists. POWERFUL UNITED VOICES for shaping the future of the pharmacy fraternity. THE TIME IS NOW! Make your mark on the SAPC’s secure voting site before Monday 6am, 16 October 2023. VOTE FUMANI B MABUZA P43470- THE LEGAL VOICE FOR INCLUSIVE TRANSFORMATION OF THE PHARMACY PROFESSION.

Proud of National University Health System and the entire #community of people that made #health a possibility for all! Our sister Singapore General Hospital is #4. All India Institute of Medical Sciences is #3. Singapore and India are the only 2 Asian countries in the top 10 which is dominated by USA. Approximately only 10% of our health is determined by the quality of healthcare. A healthcare system that (a) partners closely with various other sectors to address the #social, #behavioural, and #environmental determinants of health (60%) and (b) is able to harness the power of genetics (30%), can then truly be #transformational to health of the population. Singapore’s recognition as a #bluezone is probably a good indication of how the #complexsystems that produces health has been working pretty well. For instance, the Housing & Development Board housing story is a shining example of how the quality of housing is correlated with the quality of health: https://lnkd.in/gKgkJqsc. No coincidence! As is commonly said, don’t rest on your laurels. We at National University Health System still have lots to improve on. That’s why we even bother to have a “Transformation Office” and all the more we need to work together (no silos, only collaborations) for the health of our people. Onwards and upwards!

📢 Enhancing Collaboration for Optimal Patient Care: Pharmacy First and General Practice Partnerships For the Pharmacy First service to truly benefit patients, the NHS, and community pharmacies, fostering robust relationships between community pharmacies and local general practices is essential. 🤝 Building Trust Strong local partnerships will empower general practice teams to confidently refer patients to Pharmacy First and other community pharmacy services when appropriate. ⏳ Commitment to Change Achieving lasting changes in referral practices requires time and persistent effort. Embedding referrals from general practice to Pharmacy First will likely need several months or more of sustained work. 🔍 Positive Feedback and Challenges Many LPCs and pharmacy teams have shared encouraging feedback about how these local partnerships are driving a high volume of referrals and patient benefits. However, some pharmacy teams face challenges with low or nonexistent referral rates. 💡 Sustained Effort Needed Drawing from the rollout of GP referrals to the Community Pharmacist Consultation Service, we know that sustained efforts are crucial to establish and maintain referral practices over time. 📚 New and Updated Resources To assist pharmacy owners, their teams, and LPCs in engaging with general practice colleagues, there are new published resources and updated existing ones. Let's work together to strengthen these vital relationships and ensure the success of Pharmacy First for the benefit of all. 🌟 #pharmacyfirst #avicennapharmacy #nhsuk #ukpharmacy
