@the_shpa @M_Kay_Dunkley @jononugget @WAHealth Great ideas! e.g. Assessing for values alignment in interviews - @TrevillianSusan - interview includes phone conversation when interview offered, how candidate interacts with admin staff on arrival, interview panel questions, and technician taking candidate for hospital tour.

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.

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 .

Thanks to the Minjil team for such a generous, warm welcome to your beautiful country. ⁦@the_shpa⁩ #MM2023

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.

@PaulTWinner @ciarakirke @Dr_BellaR Thx. Our Muslim chaplain has been great - all about partnerships & ensuring patients make informed choices. 10% of patients reported medication events with fasting e.g. hypo with insulin, dehydration with diuretics. Tricky when patients refuse antibiotics, analgesia, asthma MDIs.

@ED_theEDpharm When we audited the reasons for patients refusing doses prescribed in hospital, we unexpectedly found fasting for Ramadan was a reason. When we interviewed our Muslim patients, they asked that we partner with them to come up with a plan and not simply tell them not to fast.

Thanks also, to the fabulous year 8 students at @EPICeduAU for your video to introduce @Austin_Health staff to how important the traditions of Ramadan are to your community. @Austin_HealthRx
