23.01.2022 #AntibioticResistance: The change starts with you. Were here to tell you the facts. Every day in May well be sharing important information that you need to k...now. The development of antibiotics was one of the most important advances of #medicine. But now, because of overuse and misuse, bacterial infections that were once easily cured with #antibiotics are becoming harder to treat. Australia is one of the biggest contributors to this problem but we are also one of many global leaders trying to make a change. Spread knowledge, not infections.

22.01.2022 This is the best free opioid dose calculator app ever! Opioid Calculator is produced by the Faculty of Pain Medicine of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (FPM ANZCA) to allow easy calculation of total oral Morphine Equivalent Daily Dose (oMEDD) for available opiates. The starting point is choosing the opioids applicable to practice by selecting, for example, AU or NZ, or by tailoring the options to your specific needs. The calculator is clear and concise.... It provides a list of the chosen opiates and, after selecting the patients dose, it converts this to the oMEDD. An advantage of this app is that, where combinations of opioids are used, the total oMEDD of all the opiates is calculated and displayed at the top of the screen. A traffic light system warns if the total daily dose is reaching a concerning level. https://itunes.apple.com///opioid-calculator/id1039219870

20.01.2022 Antibiotics work by blocking vital processes in bacteria, killing the bacteria or stopping them from multiplying. This helps the bodys natural immune system to fight the bacterial infection. Different antibiotics also work against different types of bacteria - click to learn more:

19.01.2022 Truly, we face a scary situation, he said. Antibiotic resistance, as you know, risks turning back the clock. It risks going from pre-antibiotic to antibiotic to a post-antibiotic era. And it is not only that pneumonia and urinary tract infections could be fatal, but it is also that modern medicine could be undermined. http://www.pharmacypracticenews.com//CDC-s-Frieden-I/38378

17.01.2022 Antimicrobial Stewardship in Aged Care Homes From July 1, 2019 Commonwealth funded aged care homes in Australia are required to demonstrate a clinical governance framework around antimicrobial stewardship. Not Just Pills(R) has developed a range of resources, based on McGeer et al Infection Definitions, the Australian Antimicrobial Clinical Care Standard and Therapeutic Guidelines: Antibiotic Version 16, that are specifically designed to reduce unnecessary or inappropriate... antibiotic use in aged care homes by:- - improving clinical assessment, - better communicating presenting signs and symptoms of infections to GPs and - promoting appropriate antibiotic prescribing for aged care residents.

15.01.2022 Today is the start of World Antibiotic Awareness Week. When it comes to antibiotics, "Think twice. Seek advice." Antibiotics arent always the answer and misuse... can speed up antibiotic resistance. Always seek the advice of a healthcare professional such as your local pharmacist before taking antibiotics. www.who.int/campaigns/world-antibiotic-awareness-week/en #antibioticawarenessweek #antibioticresistance #antibiotics

06.01.2022 Eye Drop Instillation Technique This paper is a reminder that pharmacists have an important role in educating people about how to instill eye drops safely and effectively. Not only is eye drop instillation technique important for optimising the efficacy of glaucoma eye drops, it is also important in terms of minimising systemic side effects such as bradycardia, hypotension and falls. I often educate aged care facility staff and self administering residents about the importance of pulling down the lower lid to form a pocket, instilling ONE drop and then closing the eyes and occluding the tear duct for 1-3 minutes. I am regularly told that "nobody has told me that before". Loss of vision has a significant impact on quality of life. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com//10.11/ijpp.12215/abstract
