Front Cover Picture
Our front cover picture this week (by Christopher Icha) illustrates a news feature which looks at two projects in Scotland that are demonstrating the roles that pharmacists can play in prescribing.

Effective analgesia
A special feature includes articles on analgesic medicines available over the counter and the management of pain in palliative care.

Nurse prescribing
Nurses are to be allowed to prescribe nine antibiotics for specified conditions.

Barriers to communication
The first of two continuing professional development articles on communication gives an overview of basic communication skills and barriers to effective communication.

Use of transcripts
An article describes how transcripts of pharmacy interactions are obtained and why they are useful learning tools for both students and pharmacists.

British Pharmaceutical Conference
This year's conference takes place in Manchester from 23 September. A preliminary programme begins here.
