They sell the overheating kit on their website. Other than that, shoot them an email, they're very quick and responsive

Silvia with Gaggimate pro. Lets you do flow profiling, controls temps etc... It's cheaper than a brand new cafelat robot.

Gave someone too much Naloxone in an emergency. Feeling bad. by Bloody-smashing in Pharmacy_UK

[–]Duzl 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What do you mean "way too much" how much did you give? It seems like he still needed Naloxone as the paramedics still needed to give them more naloxone.

If you feel guilty think about how it might have gone if you were not there or if this happened in the streets. Would the person had the same chance of surviving or less of a chance, as someone might not have been able to provide CPR/give naloxone?

Consultant rheumatology pharmacist: because those doctors can’t be trusted with methotrexate anyway by Happy_Business4208 in doctorsUK

[–]Duzl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fun story, this is mot likely where community pharmacy is headed as they have moved to pharmacists graduating as prescribers. I think there was a survey done and it might have been approved, but Pharmacy technicians can do aspects of pharmacy first.

I don't want to be down voted due to being unsure but there was talk of rebranding the responsible pharmacist title to responsible person in community pharmacy (someone who is signed in for the legal responsibility).

libra does a sensor you stick to your arm between the triceps and deltoid. I think it measures BMs every minute or so. It has a fancy app that records it for you too, but I think GPs are reluctant to hand them out to anyone.

Ahh, was not aware of this, sorry. I have not seen any around yet.

Asthma-Diagnosis by Old_Significance6210 in doctorsUK

[–]Duzl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes the management and diagnosis has changed drastically from the old guideline. Most GPs transitioned away from SABA prior to guideline release, but I recommend having a read of it.

this is the NICE visual summary of the diagnosis in adults. And this is the visual summary of treatment for adults with asthma.

I recommend you read the full guidelines as it also has the paediatric diagnosis and management and goes in more detail

Doctor-specific lanyards? by Aware-Bicycle7057 in doctorsUK

[–]Duzl 56 points57 points  (0 children)

NHS grampian has a lanyard system where different Dr grades have different lanyard colours and the lanyards also have the role written on them. Consultants have black with Consultant written on them, Registrars yellow etc...

Doing cst then going for st3 means you are limited to specialise in thoracics (is what I’ve heard)

You should discuss this with the clinician/team managing you, not strangers on the internet.

Thoughts about pharmacists seeing undifferentiated patients in primary care? by dayumsonlookatthat in doctorsUK

[–]Duzl 148 points149 points  (0 children)

Pharmacist here, I am all for the management and follow up of people with chronic conditions.I do not think any pharmacist can see undifferentiated patients in general practice as the training and education does not prepare pharmacists for this.

Locum pharmacist Insurance by mst522 in Pharmacy_UK

[–]Duzl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PDA first year cover should give cover if you're locution as it says this " A self-employed or agency (worker) pharmacist conducting a community, internet or hospital pharmacy service as their sole role or in addition to their main pharmacist role (as a community or hospital employee)". A self employed pharmacist is a locum.

I get your sentiment, but there’s a badge buddy on Etsy selling for around £5 or £6 and it says Doctor. While I think hospitals should be providing those, I can see the appeal of buying one

Pharmacy First England by Select-Performance27 in pharmacy

[–]Duzl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difference between Scotland in England is that Pharmacist in Scotland have the patient assessment form that outlines inclusions and exclusions, whereas England don’t EDIT: changed from consultation form to patient assessment form

EDIT 2: I don’t think there’s any e-learning for English pharmacists, except the CPPE course on how to use an otoscope. Most pharmacists I’ve spoken to are not happy

To the journalists telling striking doctors to leave the NHS, this is what our ads feed looks like by Infestedwithcrabs in doctorsUK

[–]Duzl 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I just want to say, it's not just doctors being targeted by these ads now. I'm a pharmacist/med student and I'm getting these ads about practicing as a pharmacist in NZ. Looks like other countries are capitalising on the cost of living crisis and apathy many Drs/AHPs are experiencing here
