How can we remove the barriers and make pharmacists deprescribing heroes? In their recent piece in @TSCPJournal (and (@PleinCenterUW honorary lecture) @JudiTheGarber and Don Downing show how policy, perceptions, and partnerships are the answer. lowninstitute.org/how-pharma…

Computerised clinical decision support, +/- clinical guidelines. Time to curb our enthusiasm, or at least render critical examination of claims? A commentary - see: medsafetyaustralia.com.au/co…

Toxicologist here. Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are not yet proven to treat or prevent #COVID19. They may have a role; we just don’t know yet. Too much (or from drug interactions) can cause hypotension, hypokalemia, seizures, and fatal cardiac dysrhythmias. 1/3

True for most health professionals. If a hospital #pharmacist calls in sick there is usually no back-fill, which means increased workload & pressure on other staff, & often poorer quality care for patients. If multiple staff call in sick, it's a big problem. #COVIDー19
Replying to @GavinPrestonMD
Exactly. We need further discussion of the catch-22 nature of this scenario. Physicians are socialized to see calling off sick as "unprofessional." This is reinforced by staffing conventions at almost all healthcare orgs. Changing expectations mid-stream unfair and ineffective
