Good news on the Primary Care front. The health region received my contract proposal and although it takes time they are very interested in the partnership. I have been invited to a team meeting next week. I look forward to discussing my role on the team with the doctors and nurse practitioner as well as the other team members from Leader and Swift Current. I have been working on a poster presentation for the PAS (Pharmacist's Association of Saskatchewan) Conference in April 2008. The poster will discuss my role on the team here and hopefully I will be able to say how we plan to move forward with the partnership between pharmacists and the rest of the Primary Care Team.
Pharmacy intern, Corrine, has been busy for the past three weeks. She has evaluated 3 new drug products; Cymbalta, Seasonale, and Januvia. She produced a monitoring plan for signs and symptoms of digoxin & warfarin toxicity for the nursing home stafff (one of the residents is uncooperative and the staff are not able to do therapeutic drug monitoring). She attended a Back Pain Conference in Saskatoon with Gordon and will be attending the Sunday Seminar with us this coming weekend. She has been researching The Diet Plate and will make a presentation to the diabetes education group on Friday morning. As well, she has attended weekly rounds at the nursing home and has presented a number of medication reviews to the attending physician.
