Front Cover Picture
Our front cover photograph depicts the precautions being
taken at a farm in Kent against the current outbreak of foot and mouth
disease. A special news feature this week describes the disease and examines
how rural pharmacists are being affected by it (p305).
New uses for aspirin
Our continuing education article this week summarises the history of aspirin—
“the first miracle drug” — and outlines its possible new
uses (p315).
Smoking cessation
As No Smoking Day approaches, we investigate what pharmacists are doing
to promote the day and look at the services they can offer to potential
quitters (p319).
Code of Ethics
This week we publish the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's revised Code of
Ethics as an eight-page, pull-out section (pp325–332).
The Society is inviting comments. It is intended that the code, subject
to review in the light of comments received, will be put to the Society's
annual general meeting for adoption on May 16.
Health care priorities
A recent meeting, organised by the department of medicines management
at Keele university, examined the challenges of priority setting and measurement
in health care. Report (p334).
