Front Cover Picture
This week's front cover picture (Christopher Icha) is intended to represent how pharmacists can consider introducing a variety of new quality services for patients. Our news feature this week reports on how pharmacists can contribute to modernising the NHS by providing new services and improving pharmacy premises.

Fluoroquinolones
Ciprofloxacin and other fluoroquinolones could be associated with severe adverse events.

Beta-interferon
A "money-back" deal might be struck between manufacturers of beta-interferon and the Department of Health to enable multiple sclerosis patients to try a course of treatment.
Leading article.

Jury service
Most pharmacists can expect to lose their automatic exemption from calls to serve on juries.

Seamless care
Research published this week shows that a pharmacist's intervention improves patients' ability to recall their medication regimen and reduces the number of drug errors.

Recalls
GlaxoSmithKline has recalled a batch of Seretide 50 Evohalers, distributed in the livery of Allen & Hanburys (p641).
