Packaging

Research possibility?

From Mr J. P. Smith, MRPharmS

I would be interested to know if any colleagues would like to take part in a small research project.

This would be entitled “Spontaneous opening of dispensing skillets” and could possibly lead to the introduction of a law. This law would state that: “When opening a patient pack to obtain a patient information leaflet, one always opens the end without the leaflet. Conversely when requiring a strip of tablets, the pack is always opened at the end with the leaflet.”

I am sure other pharmacists have noticed similar annoying events that could lead to fruitful lines of research, and I wonder if these observations would count toward continuing professional development?
