💊 On day two of MedsAware, @AdPhaPresident Tom Simpson FANZCAP (Lead&Mgmt), says deprescribing is in AdPha's DNA. #MedsAware2025 #DeprescribingWeek #SafeSustainableMeds

This was fun! Thanks @AJPEditor and Carlene for having us, great to talk about one of the most interesting years in pharmacy history.

🌟 🌿 During day one of the greenest ever Medicines Management conference, @AdPhaChiefExec Kirstin Michaels announced that the theme for MedsAware 2025 will be empowering safe and sustainable use of medicines.

Pleased to welcome technicians and pharmacists from across the state to discuss establishing roles, atypical roles, and barriers and opportunities around realising the full potential of this crucial part of our workforce.

@SHPAPresident ‘As our healthcare system braces to manage increased complexity of chronic comorbidities, advanced pharmacy expands the boundaries of Australian pharmacy to effect meaningful change, so innovative pharmacy expertise can be fully harnessed for the benefit of patients everywhere.'

Showing compassion is not a sign of weakness. It’s a source of strength. In the early days of COVID, the more CEOs expressed concern for employees, the less company stock prices fell. Each statement of concern was worth 2.5% better returns. It pays to care about people.

Today at Parliament House, @SHPAPresident Tom Simpson FANZCAP met w/ Mike Stephens, Medicines Policy and Programs Director at @NACCHOAustralia🤝 Always great to meet with NACCHO as we look ahead to continuing our partnership with a greater goal of closing the gap.

@pharmerfour You've hit the nail on the head here my friend. I'd always rather pay for a good narrative experience, but have enjoyed a few Free-To-Play/Pay-To-Win games in my time. But this model just seems insulting. It's been tried before (Ubisoft) so hopefully they back down. This time.

The Australian and New Zealand College of Advanced Pharmacy (ANZCAP) has recognised its 1000th p'cist, while opening drop-in online consultation sessions to all p'cists in Australia and New Zealand! Read more → shpa.org.au/.../1000th-pha…...

We’re proud to celebrate the 1st Hospital Pharmacy Day, a global initiative from the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP)! @EAHPtweet Happy #HospitalPharmacyDay!

On the 1st #HospitalPharmacyDay, we celebrate every person working in Australia’s hospital pharmacy departments and the impact they have on patient care within the hospital and at points of care in the community. @EAHPtweet

Last week was MedsAware Deprescribing Action Week. With this year’s being ‘Ask because you care’, it seeks to empower older Australians, Australians living with a disability & their carers to ask health professionals: “Could any of these medicines be doing more harm than good?”

This year's #MedsAware theme is 'Ask because you care', which seeks to empower older Australians and Australians living with a disability to have conversations with their doctor about whether any of their medicines could be doing more harm than good. @the_shpa

Medicines and medical devices make up 50% of the carbon footprint of healthcare. Great work by @theShiftPR0JECT showing there ARE choices we can make. Eg. Carbon footprint of ibuprofen can be reduced by 50% - how do we factor this into healthcare policy and purchasing?

"the climate crisis is a healthcare crisis" - and healthcare has to change in order to be sustainable. Great to be at the @EAHPtweet #eahp2024 congress on sustainable pharmacy and healthcare, hearing about opportunities and solutions
