We join hands..

[quote author=she-blayze]Good points raised. However, the average Pharmacist working in a Nigerian hospital has limited functions. That is why patients doubt our abilities but have more faith in doctors. I saw this during my industrial training. How can a (central) hospital have all its pharmacists in one big room? How can pharmacist-patient confidentiality be developed when there is no privacy? How can you patiently and effectively counsel a patient when you are standing and there are atleast more than 50 patients waiting for your services? Painfully, the average Nigerian cannot differentiate between the pharmacist and the ('chemist') patent medicine dealer. Most countries have long done away with Bpharm programme but this is 2013 and Nigerians and sadly to say pharmacists (including students) are just becoming aware of the PharmD programme. Bpharm has more to do with manufacturing while PharmD is more patient-oriented. The theme for this year's world pharmacy day is to make medicine use easier no matter how complex. How can it be achieved in Nigeria when the pharmacist is under duress, when Pharmaceutical care is yet to be implemented in most health institutions? This year, in PANS national conference held in Unilag, it became obvious that members of the profession lack unity which is essential if we are to progress. We blame government for all our lapses. But we are to blame. Where were we when other health professionals were taking up positions in government or even sponsoring politicians who can represent them? Thankfully, we've left the 6 by 6 window system lol.

We still have a lot to do before we can happily and/or proudly celebrate World Pharmacy day. Hopefully, we'll get there someday.

ProudlyRx[/quote]God help us with the situation in this country, but still we have come to thrive and we will thrive. B.pharm became a thing of the past in the western world since the 1990s, when the advent of pharmaceutical care became fully blown. But our dear naija has decided to hold on to it. About unity, we really lack, it saddens my heart, we do seriously lack it. I created a thread in the career section, where we(students and graduates) could meet and help ourselves, notwithstanding it's #WorldPharmacyDay people, big ups to you!!!

If you don't have a pharmacist as a friend, go get yourself one. Pharmacists are loving, caring and friends in health needs - @PHARMACY365

moscobabs: Op try to learn how to summarize story na,sebi u pass WAEC

There's no summarizing this bro, its not a story.. pls be patient and read through, your health is most important.

KingMEXX: Even as a pharmacy student, I didn't even know. smh for me

Looool, there's a thread for pharmacy students in the career section tho, les meet you sir..

Aspiring candidates are also welcome..

You would agree with me that nothing is normal in Nigeria shey? Such is what we have in pharmacy today. A country where patients don't know their rights, where doctors don't see Rxcist eye-to-eye. Our pharmaceutical industry is the best in Africa(hope you know that).

For pharmacy students and graduates, pls I created on thread for us in the career section, pls lets meet there..

With the advent of 'World Pharmacy Day'.

I'll want us to come here, introduce ourselves and discuss how to move pharmacy forward, in Nigeria and in the world at large.

Who would help me in getting this to the frontpage now? Who do I meet plss?

Front page plss...

The World Pharmacists Day is a day set aside by the International Pharmaceutical Federation; FIP (FIP is the global federation representing three million pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists) to remind the society of the invaluable service performed by Pharmacists and Pharmaceutical scientists as integral part of the health team. The inaugural World Pharmacists Day, took place on 25 September 2010.

This year, World Pharmacists Day is set on the theme Pharmacists – simplifying your medicines use, no matter how complex.

This theme parallels the theme of the 73rd FIP World Congress: Towards a Future Vision for Complex Patients: Integrated Care in a Dynamic Continuum. As more solutions become available to patients – whether they are medicines, therapies or services provided by healthcare providers – pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists can help with their ever more complex care.

The understanding and treatment of human diseases is complicated and challenging because patients themselves are complex. The more straightforward and simple a medication regimen is to follow, the more likely a patient will remain compliant and adherent to their therapy. Pharmacists are in a prime position to help patients take their medications in a timely and appropriate manner to ensure that they receive the full benefit of therapy. A pharmacist can help prevent delays or non-adherence to their therapy that would otherwise significantly impact their treatment course and overall health.

author=Laalamed]look at ASCP.pathologists are included in the board but mlscn does not
want see pathologists in lab. usa both pathologists and medical
technologist/mls work side by side in lab. even graduates of life
sciences work but nigeria med lab scientists say no other lab
professionals should be seen in lab.
i have some mls calling themselves pathologists. even in usa where u
have doctors of mls they are not called pathologists. there are
different.
in australia pharmcologists are allowed to open pharmacy shops nigerian
pharmacists say no.[/quote]Pharmacologist dont av the same clinical experience, they don't av the same
dispensing background we were given. Pharmacology is not enough to make
u a pharmacist, so its not just proper...

@Dnaz, Pharmacists do more pharmacology than medical doctors, so what crap are you talking about? FYI, pharmacists in developed countries(im only sure of UK) obtain prescribing rights after pharmacy school.. FYI, nurses also do pharmacology, anatomy, physiology in school, so pls tell me(be professional here) what course doctors do in skul, that members of other professions didnt do.. They av no idea about pharmacognosy, we(Rxcists) do, we also do clinical rotations and ward rounds they do.. I know something for sure, something is wrong with the mentality of Nigerian med docs and even studs.. *smh*

@Erald, You can have ur doctor do an X-ray on ur knee. You can also have ice on the knee to relieve the pain for a while,

usaration: u havnt said anything about my post.am still waiting for a reply.thanks

Then go to the hospital for evaluation like you earlier said.. Cheers..

@Lerin U need to speak to ur doc b4 u take tramadol.. Cos it shud be used when maternal benefit outweighs foetal risks.. Left to me. i wont tell u to use it as there are alternatives.. E ma so layo IJN..

@Jones, i'm afraid, that's so not going to happen on here.. What did the doctor tell u to use after he diagnosed staph? What did he tell u to use at first that u didn't adhere to? U see, we need to know all this before we venture into saying 'do this' or 'do that'. What scan was carried out to check the extent of d disease? A CT scan, CBC or urinalysis or even x-ray? U dont diagnose staph by asking questions or better still see another doc.. We also need to know if the infection is methicillin resistant.. which makes it harder to treat.. Then ur pharmacist can come in.. Thank you sir..

As men of honour..

I doubt the thepathologist guy is a doc sef.. Didn't they teach ethics in med. skul?? Well, anyone has access to google, so u can save us with the copy and paste.. What is more important is what ur Pharmacist thinks about ur condition and d drugs to use.. #shikena

[quote
author=thepathologist]tell me a country where doctors diagnose and pharmacists prescribe
drugs. show relevant link. worldwide doctors diagnose and prescribe
drugs. pharmacists are dispensers of drugs while nurses administer
drugs. it is only in hospice that clinical pharmacists involve in
patients care. pharmacists birthright is pharmaceutical industries. just
appreciate what you are. do not try to be a doctor.[/quote]Ur ignorance must be killing you already.. I feel for you already.. Go read about pharmaceutical care, PharmD program didn't come to play just for us to dispense.. Leave here pls..

[quote
author=thepathologist]quack dental doctors. u should have advised him to see a dentist. that
is how u guys misinform public. how would u feel if non-pharmacist open
pharmacy shops.[/quote]Didn't you see the 'you can' in his comment? It becomes the patients decision then.. U shud av gone straight to ur point and attacked the Pharmacist. Point ur hate toward another direction abeg..
