Front Cover Picture

This week’s front cover photograph of flax (A-Z Botanical Collection) draws attention to the fifth article in our nutraceuticals series, which examines flaxseed as a dietary supplement for those seeking a plant-based source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (p287).

First aid
The first of two articles on first aid looks at the treatment of common injuries that pharmacists might be called upon to deal with (p285).

Branch motions
Motions at this year’s Royal Pharmaceutical Society branch representatives’ meeting have an emphasis on problems faced by practising pharmacists, particularly those in community pharmacy (p277).

GMP and herbal medicines
The way in which some herbal product manufacturers already follows standards for good manufacturing practice is described in an article this week (p290).

Over-the-counter EHC
A survey of the knowledge, use and views of community pharmacists and GPs on emergency hormonal contraception and its availability over the counter has found considerable support from both professions for OTC supply, provided that matters of training, pharmacy facilities and conscientious objection are addressed (p293); leading article (p269).
