Great job working through the logistics of running a compatibility study of an S8 drug…including having samples stored in a DD safe in an incubator.
Phung To from @AustinHealth sharing their problem solving In Medication Safety stream - what do you do if compatibility of preferred post-op analgesic and infusion fluid is unknown? Do a compatibility study. #MM2023SHPA
Thanks Phung To @Austin_HealthRx …great to finally have robust evidence that IV oxycodone is compatible with Compound Sodium Lactate. #MM2023SHPA. @the_shpa @ANZCA @ANZCA_FPM
True, true @SHPAPresident, we cannot expand and advance one sector of the profession (ie pharmacists) without recognising our pharmacy technicians .

Community pharmacy staff often request hospital dispensing reports for safety net purposes. We want to avoid faxes. Many staff are not permitted to access MHR. Please don't ask us to send these to a @gmail account. What are the alternatives to support patients' continuum of care?
Thank you for this sentiment. When we are all using our skills and working towards the same goal, with the patient at the centre, we all benefit.
'No one wins when healthcare workers turn on each other.'
A wonderful article by Ranjana Srivastava @DocRanjana tells us why we shouldn't believe the hype - 'Doctors and pharmacists are not at each other's throats all over Australia.'

Anyone see the problem here? Thanks VicTAG for highlighting amongst Victorian hospitals. Do we have to wait until adverse events occur before @TGAgovau steps in to make @ViatrisInc consider #medicationsafety issues when designing packaging? @the_shpa @austin_healthRx
Here are our experiences with a patients own medicines procedure tailored for the busy ED. What actually happens in your ED (not what does your policy say)? Can we work together for a consistent, pragmatic approach? @acemonline @shpa @Austin_HealthRx sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Congrats Jasmin on publishing your @Austin_HealthRx IFP project! HyperK measured on ED blood gas machine needs confirmation with non-haemolysed sample in lab where time permits. Ensure good venepuncture technique, sample handling, avoid EDTA contamination. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
