IPR NEWS LOCATE A LOCUM LAUNCHES IN IRELAND Locate a Locum was born as a ‘bedroom business’ by English pharmacist and CEO Jonathon Clarke. The company’s valuation, within a year of going to market, now exceeds £1.5m. Now the app and website is available in Ireland. “The idea for Locate a Locum was born initially out of a desire Jonathon Clarke and Michael Budden to help secure locum work for myself. I was sick of driving around the country, handing out business cards or spending my mornings on the phone," says Jonathon Clarke. “It allows pharmacies to advertise and fill shifts in seconds. Pharmacies don’t need to go to traditional job boards or agencies anymore. They don’t need to spend exorbitant amounts of money on recruitment fees either. We’ve received excellent feedback from pharmacists who receive alerts to their phone relating to available shifts, they can apply for these shifts in just a few clicks. We’re extremely proud of what we’ve built,” says CXO and developer, Michael Budden If you’re a pharmacist and want to secure your next locum shift, you can find out more at www.locatealocum.com COME SEE US ON STAND E12 AT THE UPCOMING IRISH COSMETIC CHRISTMAS SHOW AT THE RDS

UNIVERSITIES AND ENTERPRISE IRELAND TEAM UP WITH IRISH IRON BRAND: Exhaustion has reached epidemic levels for women, with new research revealing that 9 out of 10 Irish women are struggling with extreme tiredness in their daily lives. The findings come as studies show that only 18% of Irish women get adequate iron from their diet. “Women are currently battling on despite feeling tired or fatigued. Iron shortfalls are being overlooked,” says Dr Patricia Ryan, GP. Enterprise Ireland-backed Solvotrin Therapeutics, together with scientists from Trinity College, Dublin (TCD) and University College Dublin (UCD) have come up with a solution to address iron deficiency. This new iron, being marketed as Active Iron is now offering a different solution for those who suffer from tiredness caused by low iron.

Professor Colum Dunne from the University of Limerick (UL) Graduate Entry Medical School is a member of the AMiCI Management Group.
It's official, according to the British Medical Journal in a recent study - Vitamin D prevents the common cold. The Telegraph reported on the data from almost 11,000 participants.

IPR VETERINARY
VETERINARY
PHARMACY Should you start dispensing veterinary medicine?
W
e love our pets! The days of putting the dog out are over, as animals are viewed as part of the family. Until recently, vet technicians in Ireland held a monopoly on the dispensing and selling of animal medication, and the market for veterinary pharmacy was slim. Current EU law now aims to prevent vets from monopolising the dispensary of veterinary medication - opening the door for pharmacies to begin selling more animal medications and making the market for veterinary pharmaceuticals more competitive. There are stringent rules (via labelling) for dispensing veterinary medication that must be adhered to: Veterinary Practitioner Only (VPO-1/VPO) Pharmacists/pharmacies are not permitted to sell or supply these medicines to any person, including to veterinary practitioners.

Irish Pharmacy Retailer
Prescription Only (POM) medicines May only be supplied by a pharmacist, from a pharmacy, in accordance with a veterinary prescription. Prescription Only Exempt POM(E) These medicines may be sold from a pharmacy without a prescription, but the sale must be personally made by a pharmacist. Pharmacy Only (PS) These medicines may be sold from a pharmacy, without a prescription, under the personal supervision of a pharmacist. Licensed Merchant (LM) These medicines may be sold from a pharmacy, without a prescription, under the supervision of a pharmacist. Companion Animal Medicines (CAM) These medicines may be sold from a pharmacy, without a prescription,
under the supervision of a pharmacist. Pharmacists should ensure that appropriate advice is given every time an animal remedy is sold or supplied. This will enable animal owners to use the products safely and effectively. Dispensing vaccines could create potential long-term profit for pharmacies, especially considering Ireland’s growing agricultural output. As agriculture grows, the demand for animal vaccines and medications in rural areas remains steady. Additionally, the sale of animal medication is still confined to pharmacies. These products are not available in supermarkets, meaning pharmacies only have to compete with vets. In rural areas, veterinary clinics may be few and far between. The time is ripe for pharmacies to step in and offer consumers an alternative option for their animal pharmacy needs. Sources: The Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland

IPR CHILDCARE & PREGNANCY
Itchy red patches on an infant’s skin may indicate developing eczema. Dry skin, eczema and most other skin conditions are more common among children whose parents share the same traits. Fortunately, there are a variety of OTC and natural remedies for eczema in infants and children. Managing Eczema As they develop, infants and small children are more susceptible to dry skin than adults, particularly during the winter months. When a child’s skin gets too dry it can become scaly brittle, leading to an eczema flare up. Keeping children’s skin moisturised can prevent rashes, irritation and ulcers associated with eczema, but each child may react differently to certain eczema treatments. Parents must be aware of their child’s skin 18
Irish Pharmacy Retailer
condition and how to best treat it. There are a variety of things that can trigger an eczema flare up, including dry outdoor air or indoor heating. During warmer months, air conditioning, saltwater, chlorine and the summer sun can also cause skin to lose its natural moisture. Children with eczema should also wear soft, breathable clothing and avoid itchy fabrics like wool. Stress, overheating, sweating and allergens can also irritate a child’s eczema. Certain everyday household items may also cause an eczema flare up. Hand and dish soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, body wash, surface cleaners and disinfectants are all possible triggers if a child comes in contact with them. To avoid a flare up, these products should be tested on a small patch of the child’s skin before being used.

JOINT PAIN Joint pain for many people in Ireland is constant and debilitating; it probably doesn’t help that we have a damp climate that seems to exacerbate it and make us feel especially worse on a rainy day. We’re told we have an ageing population, so is it now incumbent on doctors and pharmacists to advise on ways to reduce joint pain? Because it’s mainly caused by injuries how you deal with joint pain in your youth (or relative youth) is very important! 46

VITAMINS IPR from migraines and headaches. “With the days being shorter and cooler temperatures, we are also inclined to be less active. However such immobility can make arthritis and aches and pains worse, reducing the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the joints. Doing some gentle exercise increases the flow of blood to the muscles, causing them to relax and become less to prone to spasm or rigidity. Walking or swimming are good examples of exercise that can help block some of the pain signals to the brain”. “Another great way to take control of your pain is by keeping a ‘pain diary’. Suitable particularly for patients suffering from recurring pain, a diary helps patients track their symptoms and identify possible causes. It’s also an important way to show the triggers for your pain to your GP or pharmacist.”
It seems that sitting still for hours on end in front of computer screens can do as much damage as long hours of manual work. The main symptoms include: • Swelling at the joint area • Heat around the joint • Limping • Tenderness • Weakness or stiffness • Loss of the range of motion around the joint Poor posture and sedentary work can cause joint pains and back issues. It seems that sitting still for hours on end in front of computer screens can do as much damage as long hours of manual work.

Ms. Kissane stated, “One in eight Irish adults are suffering with chronic pain, described as pain that lasts longer than 3 months.

IPR HR
Sick… or Skiving? Peninsula Business services looks at the busy absentee
W
hat happens if a member of staff phones in sick but they are later seen out at the shopping centre or down at the pub? Does that mean they're skiving? Not necessarily, ill employees are not always confined to their beds so if another employee sees them out shopping, walking the dog or sitting in a pub it’s worth remembering that not all illnesses incapacitate a person to the extent that they need to stay in bed or remain at home. This is especially true with conditions such as stress or depression. Colleagues are often keen to alert their managers to any perceived inconsistencies between a colleague’s absence and their behaviour whilst off sick, particularly if their own work load has increased as a result. Being able to go and enjoy social events is not necessarily incompatible with an individual being too ill to work. Clearly, you might want to ask some questions of an employee signed off sick due to chronic back pain and being able to run a marathon, gyrate on the dance floor or teach yoga. However, it is unlikely to be reasonable to ask the same employee to explain how they were able to walk around the shops or go out for dinner. Some health conditions may benefit from the individual taking exercise or getting out of the house and the employee may be following their doctor’s advice. Even if you have doubts as to whether someone is genuinely ill, it’s important not to accuse someone of lying when you don’t have all the facts. It’s good practice to have in place a procedure that requires all 48
Irish Pharmacy Retailer
employees to phone in and speak to their manager or a nominated person if they are too ill to come into work even if it’s only for one day. Employees who are absent for over a week, generally have to obtain a note from their GP, which should set out the nature of the illness and how long the employee is likely to be off work. Employers are required to accept a sick note at face value, unless they have convincing evidence that casts doubt on whether the employee is genuinely ill. It’s also good practice to conduct a return to work interview with anyone who has been absent due to ill health after any period of illness. Employees should be asked to explain any inconsistencies between the reason given for their absence and
any observed behaviour. Only if an employee cannot give a satisfactory explanation should disciplinary action being taken. Evidence is more likely to be in the form of social media such as Facebook these days, so if an employee says they were too ill to come into work but they posted the fact they went out and got drunk the night before with friends, it is legitimate to ask them about whether their illness was connected with having had too much alcohol the night before. If in doubt always seek expert HR advice to help minimise the risk to your business. Free call Peninsula Business Services on 1890 252 923 and their experienced advisors will be happy to help.

Workplace Wellbeing S
taff wellbeing is an increasingly relevant and necessary consideration in the modern workplace. At its simplest level is ultimately about personal happiness – feeling good and living healthily. This also means not allowing work to undermine our basic purposes and needs in our lives, and in this respect wellbeing is a hugely significant aspect of our work and our careers. Wellbeing and stress management issues are within the overall ‘duty of care’ that a pharmacy owner owes to its employees, yet the consideration extends far beyond the employer duty of care. The entire subject of wellbeing has broad implications for quality of life – how we choose to live, 52

from a philosophical and fulfilment viewpoint. Also, potentially how long we live, whether we enjoy health and happiness, or suffer anxiety and illness. Everyone in the workplace has a duty to safeguard and nurture personal wellbeing at work. From a management perspective, wellbeing is a major factor in quality, performance, productivity and therefore overall salon effectiveness and profit. When a person’s wellbeing reduces, so does their performance and effectiveness within the salon.

Training tends to counteract negative stressful pressures as it exposes staff to new and interesting learning and development, which is positive and motivational. Pay & Conditions Pay and working conditions should reflect the responsibilities of the role. Be careful of long hours and overtime as this can lead to increased 54

stress and staff fostering resentment towards management. Job Security Job Security and the feeling that the job itself may be at risk is a significant source of stress and tends to impact way beyond the job performance. Always behave with visibility, honesty and transparency. People like to know where they stand. Communication Good communications encourage a positive retail culture, which helps to promote wellbeing. Aim for excellent communications between all levels of management and staff. Foster a culture of trust and cooperation, which will result in less conflict and more efficient working. Work/ Life Balance Create a store culture which respects and encourages a healthy Work/ Life Balance. For example, offering time in lieu or overtime payments for additional work allows staff to be suitably rewarded for their efforts, which improves self-esteem and feeling of personal value and encourages job commitment and job loyalty. Job Fit Only hire staff who fit the culture and vision of the pharmacy, as well as the role. Have a look at your recruitment process. Are you doing enough to prioritise staff ’s wellbeing at the beginning of their employment by ensuring that you get the right people in the right roles? For your long-term employees, ensure the role is suitable for them. If staff are struggling to work happily and effectively, find out why before it becomes a serious issue. What’s Your Management Style? A retail manager can greatly influence the immediate working environment for
staff. A manager conveys many moodinfluencing signals to staff according to his/ her communication, attitude, tone of voice, words used, timing of conversations and body language. Where these signals are positive, staff can be motivated, inspired and encouraged to improve productivity. But where these signals are negative people can feel undervalued, vulnerable, a failure and alienated. It is vital that shop managers are aware of their own preferred way of communicating and how these preferences impact on team members. Managers simply must be trained and able to adjust their style of communications according to the needs of their staff. A manager, who truly understands how to adapt his / her style according to each different situation and the support need of the team and the individuals within it, can empower any group of people to achieve remarkable results. The manager must help team member to flourish and flourish as people and fulfil themselves in ways which far extend the normal expectations of the job. By nature, most people are hardworking, diligent and conscientious. It is each individual’s own responsibility to safeguard their own well being. By taking an active interest in your teams health and wellbeing, will repay you in increased productivity.

"T
he Cosmetic Association was formed almost 30 years ago to offer the Pharmacy sector a one-stop-shop for their Christmas trade. As the years went by, exhibitors took the opportunity of introducing new brands at the Trade Fair and this was a welcome addition. For Buyers to see a full stand of cosmetics, or a display of perfumes, or a range of jewelry or a display of wrapping / bags, in one day, and in one place, is a huge benefit.

STRAIGHT TO YOU Here’s your opportunity to hear about new and innovative products and services straight from the brands themselves!
HOLOS Holistic skincare is no longer confined to the shelves of the local health store. Customers want to see more choice and save time by being able to find the brands they love while making their regular visits to their Pharmacy. More and more pharmacies are making space on their shelves for natural and holistic skincare brands. Holos Skincare is luxurious plant-based aromatherapy skincare that gives you healthy vibrant skin and a lot of feel good. Holos lovingly creates skincare products combining plant-based ingredients with Aromatic essential oils to give you a product that is like a comfort blanket to the senses and velvet to the skin. Holos Skincare nourishes
the skin with naturally formed vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and essential fatty acids which are found in the plant-based ingredients. These readily available nutrients found in plant oils keep the skin fresh and youthful by easily penetrating the skin to aid hydration and protect the skin against free radical damage which causes premature ageing. Essential oil blends target specific skin types to bring the skin into balance, maintain oil levels and boost hydration to add to the effects of nutrient rich plant oils. Because Holos adores plant oils they use them in abundance in their products, some being made entirely of oil others with high levels added. These oils are good fats for the skin, adding to the
health, vitality and youthfulness by plumping up the skin and smoothing out fine lines as well as locking water in, to prevent dehydration. Holos strives to dispel the myth that oil is bad for the skin and leaves a greasy complexion. This can happen with mineral oils which cannot absorb as their molecular structure is too large. The key lies in knowing the difference between the oils that absorb and the oils that don’t. The answer is this, plant oils absorb, minerals oils don’t. So you can be sure that the oils used in Holos skincare will absorb into the skin nourishing it and leaving it with youthful vibrancy. Contact: www.holos.ie Email: niamh@holos.ie. Tel: 086 3183369

NAMECARDS4U Namecards4u is an exciting young Irish company with a unique system - we developed the 1st prototype in 2013 and now in 65 shops (and counting) throughout Ireland. We are in about 10 pharmacies so far and feedback is that the concept is working very well. Namecards4u have our own high quality range of Greeting Cards specially adapted for personalisation - the system allows the retailer to personalise our cards in store ‘while you wait’. We have cards for
‘Everyday’ and for ‘Special Occasions’ (Christmas, Valentine’s, Confirmations and Communion). Card designs are open and versatile and this allows the retailer to carry a smaller range, use less space and carry lower stock. So how does it work? Really, it’s as easy as 1-2-3: the customer chooses one of our cards, tells the staff member their “message” and the retailer then prints our label to personalise the card. You can place any name or message on the card in the store and the process takes less than
one minute to make a very personal and high quality end product. Sales Director David Buggy is very excited about how card-buying customers quickly become loyal to the brand and typically come back to repeat purchase, and he sees a great fit for our business with the Pharmacy sector. We are finding that our personalised cards often become keepsakes, with a special meaning. Contact: David Buggy Tel: 087 2841335 Email: david@ namecards4u.com

REMESCAR Introducing the revolutionary Remescar Eye Bags & Dark Circles, the latest addition to Distinct Distribution’s portfolio of amazing brands. Distinct Distribution is home to beauty brands: including Ripe By Roz Purcell, iWhite Teeth Whitening, James Read, Kardashian Beauty and many more. Remescar launched in Ireland late last year but the secret got out in January ‘17 and it has now taken the country by storm. Remescar is an instant and effective cream which helps to diminish eye bags and the appearance of dark circles with just one single application per day.
How it works: Remescar Eye Bags & Dark Circles uses revolutionary technology EYESYL, which immediately targets eye bags and dark circles, by using a unique combination of clay minerals and a bi-peptide complex. The technology has 3 actions: • Cellular adhesion: the clay minerals penetrate and attach themselves to the skin cells. This will form a network leading to strong skin tightening • Vascular permeability inhibition: specialised peptides of the bi-peptide complex will influence the permeability of the cells around the eyes and decrease fluid accumulation around the eyes • Micromuscular pause: the bi-peptide complex will block muscular triggers, which decrease muscular contractions around the eyes These 3 actions will help to reduce the puffiness of the eyes and eliminate the appearance of dark circles For all enquiries about Remescar or any of our brands please contact the sales team at Distinct Distribution on 012762291, email: info@ distinctdistribution. ie.

LUBRISYN Ross Loughran, 28, a Pharmacy Manager with Lloyds, had managed to shed over three stone after realising he was unfit and needed to lose weight. As part of his weight-loss plan, the healthcare worker from Stepaside, Dublin, was on a strict exercise regime, mostly through working out in the gym. But Ross’s fitness programme was scuppered when a nagging knee weakness meant he couldn’t lift weights anymore or do any moves that put pressure on the area. It meant that he could only do minimal training – and so he couldn’t reach his goal of peak fitness. Having listened to customers reporting that a spoonful a day of this oral solution called LubriSyn was curing them of ongoing joint problems, he decided to give it a try. The liquid is a form of hyaluronic acid, which is the main constituent of the synovial fluid that lubricates our bodies’ joints. While this natural lubricant diminishes with age and wear, LubriSyn helps replenish and restore it, easing bone-on-bone inflammation. After a few weeks of taking it, he realised that his knee no longer caused him pain and he could return to doing full circuits again, without having to worry. “Since taking Lubrisyn, the change has been dramatic. I can walk properly and I can squat as heavily as I want without any fear of hurting myself, and I can even do a bit of running now and then because the knee is holding up fine. I’m delighted!" LubriSyn is priced €45 for a 340ml bottle, which is one month’s supply. Contact: www.lubrisyn.ie. Tel: (01) 6854746
