How should pharmacists report incidents?
All incidents should be reported, no matter how minor. Here’s how pharmacists can best approach this process.
Acute pain management with over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics

Small towns, big challenges
With the launch of a new PSA report, pharmacists in regional and remote areas highlight disadvantages that access to more funding, collaboration and medication management reviews could improve.
Aspiration precautions for diabetes and weight-management therapies
Following several incident reports, the Therapeutic Goods Administration issued new precautions linked to these popular therapies.
How pharmacists can support patients through the PrEP shortage
