Top tips for the 2024 influenza season

Industry Chloe Hava - April 22, 2024

7.00 am	Training time Unit Physical Training Session (PT) at Base Gym, a group-orientated fitness session comprising a mixture of cardiovascular and strength exercises.
9.00pm	Clinical care Assisting Amberley Defence Health Facility (Garrison), which is like a big GP clinic, with clinical pharmacy duties. This includes management of pharmaceutical accounts and dispensing medicines such as longer term prescription repeats for management of chronic health conditions and over-the-counter products for acute colds, headaches, aches and pains etc. Also use this time for management and clinical governance of expeditionary health kits.
12.00pm	Lunch break Pause for lunch at Mess (dining facility), which also provides an opportunity to network with other base personnel. Food is always great and prepared by in-house Air Force chefs! I love their curries.
2-5pm	End-of-day planning Command briefing on the next series of upcoming expeditionary health tasks and priorities, which can include requests for health support in a wide variety of locations both within Australia and overseas. Respond to a Short Notice to Move task involving the provision of pharmaceuticals and/or health material (medical equipment).
7.00pm	Wind down Like a true pharmacist I’ve been re-watching Ozark on Netflix, about a financial planner who turns money launderer for a drug cartel. Otherwise, I support the current sporting series – most recently celebrating Brisbane Heat winning the Big Bash League cricket competition!
