Front Cover Picture
Almost 50 per cent of all isolates of Staphylococcus aureus (front
cover picture) are resistant to methicillin. In a news
feature, Harriet Adcock looks at the problem of resistance to anti-infectives
and investigates whether the pharmaceutical industry will come up with
new therapies to help tackle the situation or whether things have been
left too late (p599).
Aspirin use in under 16s
The Medicines Control Agency has announced that restrictions
on aspirin are to be further tightened (p593).
Pharmacy technicians
In the light of the Department of Health report on skill mix, Jonathan
Buisson looks at registration
of pharmacy technicians in terms of who might be registered, with
whom and how it might work. News feature (p601).
West Nile Virus
Continuing our occasional series
on rare diseases from which travellers may be at risk, an article
describes West Nile Virus, how it reached the United States and the consequences
for public health (p617).
Attitudes towards CPD
Research
from Liverpool shows that although there is acceptance among the profession
that continuing professional development is essential, there are significant
differences in attitudes between sub-groups of pharmacists towards future
proposals for CPD (p618).
