Front Cover Picture

Last week, The Journal proposed that an overarching body to represent pharmacy and pharmacists should be formed. This week's front cover picture (by Christopher Icha) illustrates a news feature that investigates the views of the pharmacy bodies and looks at the history of unions in pharmacy.

Electronic prescribing
All acute hospitals are expected to have implemented electronic prescribing by 2005. A news feature describes developments at Wirral Hospital and a pilot scheme at Doncaster and Bassetlaw (p680).

Concordance
An article (PDF*, 70K) this week discusses concordance and its applicability to intensive care. It reveals some unexpected applications of concordance and exposes some limitations.

Pharmaceutical care
A conference of the European Society of Clinical Pharmacy focused on pharmaceutical care at the hospital-primary care interface. A report begins here.

Recalls
Pharmacia has recalled batches of Cytosar (cytarabine) 1,000mg/10ml injection, Pharmorubicin (epirubicin) 50mg/25ml injection and doxorubicin 50mg/25ml injection.
