Front Cover Picture
This week’s front cover picture (by Christopher Icha) is intended
to show a pharmacy medicine being drawn to the attention of a supervising
pharmacist before being sold. An article
this week reopens the debate on the supervision of sales and dispensing
in pharmacies, which is to be the subject of a special meeting of the
Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Council next month.

Issues in pharmaceutical care
Researchers in Scotland have found that many community pharmacists already
have access to important resources that would enable them to implement
pharmaceutical care plans if appropriate changes were made to NHS remuneration
and contracts. In Northern Ireland, a medication review service is being
provided for targeted patients under a new elective contract. International
perspectives on pharmaceutical care were given during a recent symposium.

production and have led the Public Health Laboratory Service to issue
provisional guidance
for action in the event of a deliberate release of anthrax spores.
