PDA encourages pharmacists to ‘Stand up for sitting down’

The Pharmacists’ Defence Association (PDA) recently held an online event to launch the PDA Ability Network’s new campaign, ‘Standing Up for Sitting Down’. The campaign aims to raise awareness of disability discrimination and calls on employers to make appropriate and ongoing reasonable adjustments.

The ‘Standing Up for Sitting Down’ campaign was created by the PDA Ability Network, following a recent survey that found that many pharmacists were not being provided the reasonable adjustments that they required.

The PDA believes that it’s crucial for all workers to receive the reasonable adjustments they need, and so this event was designed to not only launch the campaign but also educate members on their legal rights at work and how the PDA can support them.

Get involved

All pharmacists are encouraged to participate in the ‘Standing Up for Sitting Down’ campaign by:

• Having conversations with colleagues about disability and reasonable adjustments

Talking to your employer about reasonable adjustments

Promoting the PDA Ability Network and this campaign on social media

Sharing examples of good practice with the PDA.

Opening this line of dialogue helps to normalise reasonable adjustments in the workplace and encourages employers to act swiftly and appropriately to support their workers.

The mosquito repellent that can be incorporated into a sensitive skincare routine

Protection from mosquito bites is even more important for people with sensitive skin Sensitive skin is hyperreactive with a fragile keratinocyte barrier, these characteristics among others can lead to more severe and unpleasant symptoms (increased pain & itch) from a mosquito bite.

At the show

This year, the PDA will be running a session at the Pharmacy Show to discuss the campaign in more detail. The session will take place on Sunday 13th October at 10:20am in the Business Theatre.

The session will be led by PDA Organiser Liz Larkin who will reveal shocking results from the recent survey and highlight some of the good practice in the profession. The session will be supported by members of the PDA Ability Network.

The Future of Drug Supply chain efficiencyiethico’s MedSourcing Hub

The landscape of healthcare is continuously evolving, with technology and innovation playing significant roles in shaping how services are delivered. A challenge that persistently confronts the healthcare industry is medicine shortages. In recent years, medicine shortages have become alarmingly frequent, leaving patients and healthcare providers grappling with the consequences. An innovative solution has emerged from the UK-based company, Iethico, with its MedSourcing Hub, a transformative tool that addresses medicine shortages by streamlining supply chain interactions.

Medicine shortages are not new phenomena, yet their frequency and severity have escalated in recent years. The global pharmaceutical supply chain faces myriad challenges, including manufacturing issues, regulatory hurdles, and logistical bottlenecks. The continuous emergence of new shortages underscores the critical need for a robust, innovative solution capable of navigating the complexities of efficient medicine procurement and distribution.

Enter the MedSourcing Hub: An online inverse marketplace designed to facilitate more efficient sourcing of medicines. The system functions uniquely: instead

of sellers advertising products for sale, buyers (pharmacies and healthcare providers) post their medicine requirements, to which wholesalers and manufacturers can respond with availability, pricing, and delivery schedules. This structure simplifies the commercial transaction and significantly reduces bureaucratic overhead.

The MedSourcing Hub drives efficiency by enabling rapid connections between pharmacies and pharmaceutical suppliers. Prior to the availability of the MedSourcing Hub, healthcare providers faced cumbersome and timeconsuming processes in locating and securing medicine supplies. The solution mitigates these challenges by facilitating simultaneous communication to multiple providers, enabling seamless efficient transactions, whilst adhering to stringent healthcare regulations.

The platform's user base, now consisting of over 1,000 UK pharmacies and suppliers, exemplifies its expansive connectivity. This network effect not only ensures a wider availability of medicines but also builds a robust repository of data that can predict and signal supply chain issues before they culminate into crises.

Iethico’s MedSourcing Hub represents a paradigm shift in the management of medicine shortages and wider supply chain efficiency. By addressing both the immediate needs and the systemic issues of the pharmaceutical supply chain, the MedSourcing Hub not only enhances operational efficiency but also reinforces the primacy of patient care in healthcare delivery. This innovative platform is not just a response to the current crisis of medicine shortages; it is a forward-looking solution poised to redefine the framework of healthcare procurement and distribution. It represents a step change in an industry that critically depends on the availability and timely delivery of medicine.

Expansion of Services: The Role of Pharmacy in HPV Prevention & Screening

Deborah Evans will talk on this topic, organised and fully funded by MSD, from 1212.45pm on Sunday 13th October at The Pharmacy Show, in a promotional ‘lunch and learn’ session. Deborah will discuss topics such as the background of HPV vaccination, the opportunity for service expansion within pharmacy as well as cervical cancer elimination targets and the potential public health impact.

This promotional session is sponsored and fully funded by MSD for UK HCPs only. Prescribing information and adverse event reporting information will be available at this meeting.

Developed by MSD, GARDASIL® 9 (Human papillomavirus 9 valent vaccine) (Recombinant, adsorbed) is indicated for active immunisation of individuals from the age of 9 years against the following HPV diseases: 1) premalignant lesions and cancers affecting the cervix, vulva, vagina and anus caused by high-risk HPV types and 2) genital warts (Condyloma acuminata) caused by specific HPV types.1

99.7% of cervical cancer cases are caused by persistent infection with high-risk HPV types.4 The World Health Organization (WHO) has set in place a global strategy to accelerate eliminating cervical cancer and NHS England has pledged to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040.2,3

By ensuring eligible people receive HPV vaccination, you are:

1. Offering protection against certain HPV-related cancers and genital warts to adults aged 25+ at both community

and national levels, as they do not qualify for the vaccine on the NHS for free as part of the National Immunisation Programme.5

2. Reducing the burden on NHS resources and costs by preventing certain HPV-related cancers.6,7

3. Helping save the lives of approximately 850 women per year 8

Pharmacists already play a key role in UK healthcare service delivery and vaccination programmes, so are therefore well placed to increase access to HPV vaccination services. It’s a simple equation: preventing HPV-related cancer is better than treating it.9

Let us stand together, in an evolving pharmacy environment, and make a difference in the fight against certain HPV-related cancers and diseases.1
