Leaflets available for “Ask about medicines” week

Pharmacists who wish to use the “Know your medicines” leaflet to support local initiatives during “Ask about medicines week” (12 to 18 October) can still obtain copies.

Launched by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society last month (PJ, 13 September, p347), the leaflet encourages the public to visit pharmacists for expert advice. The Society has already sent out more than 30,000 leaflets to pharmacists who have requested them.

Other pharmacists who wish to obtain supplies of the leaflet in the run-up to “Ask about medicines week” should contact Natalie Sticklen, press officer, at the Society’s headquarters (tel 020 7572 2335; fax 020 7572 2503; e-mail: nsticklen@ rpsgb.org.uk).
