Some of the issues with "foregone clinical checks" – where a clinical check is done on a prescription supply then no check is completed for any number of subsequent supplies occurring within a defined period - have not yet been highlighted by #pharmacy bodies.

Pharmacists considering raising concerns to the superintendent (“SI”) about foregone clinical checks should remember that the SI has already signed off on the procedure.

In the companies using FGCs, a paper will have been put to the SI and directors explaining that reducing clinical checking frequency would make the company more profit, through associated staffing cuts, and/or pharmacists spending more time on other profitable activities.

There is a school of thought that says, that the Hindenburg report was a hit job, and Adani is a nationalist. Let us evaluate.

❓Problem Statement : @UnitedHealthGrp has a program called Advocate4Me, which allows members to call an advocate and receive support for their #health care needs – whether that's behavioural, clinical, well-being, health care financing, benefits, claims or #pharmacy help.
- Calls to the Advocate4Me call centre are categorised, but sometimes they can't fit neatly into a category. These uncategorised calls are labelled “n/a”, or are just empty (when a support agent enters nothing into the category field).
There appears to be some further misinformation circulating regarding “pharmacist shortages”. This “Locum Rates Study” was prepared for Employers by Locate a Locum.

This appears to be based on this Pulse article, which in fact reads:
“According to NHS Digital figures – which are based on data submitted by 84% of PCNs – 16,780 **staff** have been hired into ARRS roles and are working in general practice.”

20,924 reported #pharmacy closures in a year. Most common reported reason: “locum could not be found”.
Was the locum hiding somewhere, in a bizarre game of hide and seek?
Or couldn’t they find a locum *willing to work in the conditions on offer*?
Did they try to find a locum?

In no cases was the reported reason “it would have cost more for a locum in a free market than we wanted to pay” or “unable to find a pharmacist willing to work in the conditions in the pharmacy”. The reported reasons don’t tell the whole story.

Based on the C&D article, there appear to be 5,665 closures for which no reason is listed. (20924-10637-2891-811-432-221-141-74-19-10-16-7= 5665). Did NHSE allow the pharmacy to close without requiring the owner to provide a reason?

If an “expected benefit” is reduced labour costs, then the *minimum* burden on businesses to secure it could be “you don’t need a responsible pharmacist at all”.

The “expected benefits” are not defined in law. Perhaps they’ve been communicated separately to the GPhC, or will be communicated once the legislation is in force. Were the intended benefits just too tendentious to draft into law?

FYI: A clarification 🧵on a misleading new @medicarepayment chart of brand-name drugs in #Medicare Part D.
Many have misunderstood these data & misrepresented the findings, which say nothing about net drug prices.

Background: MedPAC seemed to show that in Part D, brand-name drug prices “net of rebates” grew by 7.5% per year from 2010 to 2020
But this chart is not what it appears to be…

Summary: Contrary to some claims, we can't conclude anything about net prices from the chart above.
In fact, Medicare Part D's "net brand-name drug prices" (as defined by MedPAC) can be increasing, while net prices received by manufacturers can be decreasing.
Here's why.

According to the #pharmacy council @OfficialSAPC over 90 #pharmacies have been destroyed and looted beyond revival, with KZN being the hardest hit. @SECTION27news @HealthZA @kznhealth @molelekwa98
Among the looted items are #COVID19 #vaccines and scheduled medicines, which when used without proper pharmacist counselling on storage and dosage may result in harm to one’s health. @CovidCommsSA @CovidSupportSA @HastSig @PHMSA1 @CovidCoalition @MSF_southafrica @RHAPnews
The @OfficialSAPC urge those who looted these #medicines to not use them or give to others but rather return them to their nearest pharmacy for proper disposal. We caution the public to only source medicines from legitimate health establishments such as pharmacies.
PSA: #Pharmacists are doing everything possible to accommodate ppl with the vaccinations. They get a limited supply of mRNA vaccines (100/wk of Moderna & 150/wk of Pfìzer) & cannot meet demand without more supply from govt. Pharmacies get about 12% of overall prov supply /1
#Pharmacists, like the public, are dealing with constant changes in eligibility criteria & managing ⬆️ in demand without corresponding ⬆️ in supply. Please be patient & understanding. Pharmacy can do more vaccinations with more supply & want to continue stepping up to help. /2
Use online booking of a pharmacy & visit: Ontario.ca/pharmacycovidv… to find a participating #pharmacy. Starting Mon you can get a 2nd dose of AZ-AZ or AZ-PorM at 8 wks & many ppl qualify for an mRNA-mRNA at the 4 wk mark. Guidance is changing as more data becomes available. /3

.@headsUPmigraine spoke w/ a rural #PCP hounded out of the profession by relentless pressure to stop rxing #opioids. She was the only PCP in +100 miles willing to accept patients on opioid therapy. Most were over 70. 2018 #AMA statement shows many share her frustration. >thread
Is there any other class of medications that are routinely reduced by a #pharmacy/ #pbm? It just baffles me how discriminatory policies that put barriers in place are allowed to continue. How do Mds feel about being second-guessed constantly by these companies? #DEACenteredCare
It makes sense for a #PharmD to call an MD for a script that THEY (using the years of schooling and clinical judgment that results) deem questionable. What doesn’t make sense is mandating this and using it as an excuse to deny patients their RXs. It’s cruel.
Also, what you don’t see here is once the PA is sent in, it will automatically be rejected. And when the second one is sent, that one will also be rejected. They will give different reasons each time. The process starts all over again when the appeal to the actual ins. co begins.

I took many pictures at Bolsa Chica this afternoon including many of terns diving for food and a fire that erupted a few minutes after our group left the environs of a WWII gunnery emplacement. Until I get to that part of the queue, you are stuck with various experiments.
I am very fond of #DoctorWho, so I have a small selection of action figures and a TARDIS. Attempts to photograph my tiny collection haven't given me results that I like until I use one of the #sfx filters installed in my Nikon Coolpix W150.
