Open display of pharmacy medicines: what the GPhC says... The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) has set out clearly what it has decided about the open display of pharmacy medicines or self selection. Duncan Rudkin, chief executive and registrar, said: “As the independent regulator our priority is patient safety. The law requires that pharmacists must supervise the sale of Pharmacy medicines – and that law is not changing. Pharmacists have a key role in making sure that patients receive the right advice and information about medicines. “A key element of our work to strengthen the regulation of pharmacy is a new set of standards which spell out clearly the responsibilities of pharmacy owners and superintendents. These include assessing and managing risks and ensuring that medicines are stored and supplied safely to patients. The standards also require owners to empower pharmacy professionals to exercise their professional judgement in the best interest of patients. “And we are working to introduce a completely new way of inspecting pharmacies so that we can be assured that owners of pharmacies and superintendents are living up to these standards - and supporting their pharmacists to provide effective and appropriate supervision of medicines sales. “Self selection of Pharmacy medicines is not allowed at the moment. We will only allow it to happen once key safeguards are in place. Jeremy Taylor, Chief Executive of National Voices, has summed up our position well, saying that making Pharmacy medicines available for self-selection is only appropriate if pharmacies can demonstrate that they have a system for making sure patients receive the appropriate advice about medicines.”

So, see you soon!

 Continued from page 1 When people question whether medicines optimisation is a fad, and the sceptics carp that medicines optimisation is just medicines management ‘rebadged’, should pharmacy really be shouting about the provisional findings of the New Medicine Service, which show that over eight in ten NMS medicines attracting an NMS service fee were already being taken as prescribed? If, as the dispensing doctors sayi, around 17 NMS patient consultations need to be done for one medicine to become adherent - at a cost of between £350.80- £491.12 to a cash-strapped NHS - why shouldn’t pharmacy be asked to stand up and defend its value for money service proposition? Equally, debatable are the recent findings of the Healthy Living Pharmacy pathfinder programme. When HLPs in some service areas are found to deliver worse outcomes than their non-HLP equivalents (from the recent evaluation report), and where the implementation of the HLP in an area is shown to reduce the area’s service outcomeii, does this really prove the case for pharmacy and the HLP model as the best mechanism for delivering public health services and meeting the escalating public health challenges facing the NHS today?

Pharmacy Show debates to signpost the future There are no easy answers to these questions, but solutions lie in networking and practice-sharing, and taking the best of the advice and help that are on offer. And, this year’s Pharmacy Show gives the pharmacy community the opportunity to do just this. With most key speakers already signed up to present Jonathan Mason at the show and over 6,500 delegates expected to attend, the Pharmacy Show offers the very best networking venue for pharmacists available today.

SIX FREE TO ATTEND CONFERENCE STREAMS Keynote Theatre NEW FORMAT Four Keynote sessions will see key industry associations, regulators as well as leading figures from independent and multiple organisations together with members from newly formed primary care teams, debate ‘Is Pharmacy Fit for Purpose’ as the new NHS takes shape. The theatre will also see #PSChat brought to life where key industry leaders will look to debate and answer YOUR questions. You will also find compelling sessions from the MHRA, RPS and leading manufacturers and the GPhC will be unveiling one of the biggest changes to Pharmacy regulation with details on their final standards, inspections and ratings programme. Clinical Theatre The Clinical Theatre, programmed in association with The Clinical Pharmacy Congress, will this year provide a comprehensive clinical refresher programme covering therapy areas such as oncology, coronary heart disease, hypertension, depression, alcohol dependency, asthma, COPD, dermatology and renal medicine.

Improving clinical knowledge will be a key component of this year’s Pharmacy Show and the show organisers have announced that the highly successful sister-event, the Clinical Pharmacy Congress, will present a new, two-stream clinical conference. The clinical education programmes, chaired by Jonathan Mason, will allow community pharmacists to engage and collaborate with their secondary care colleagues on medicines optimisation, transfer of care. Community pharmacists will also be able to attend a series of refresher seminars on key therapeutic areas.

Interactive patient case reviews In a Pharmacy Show first, community pharmacists, and their hospital colleagues, will be able to attend interactive patient case series reviews in special sessions moderated by clinical leaders covering respiratory, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. With so many key issues confronting the pharmacy profession, there will be plenty Sultan ‘Sid’ Dajani of opportunities for delegates to tackle the profession’s leadership and its leading entrepreneurs in a ‘Question Time’-style debate panel to address all of the big issues, such as contract funding, medicines supplies and service commissioning, confronting community pharmacy businesses across the country. Pharmacy owners and managers will be able to quiz entrepreneurs including: Kirit Patel MBE of the Day Lewis group; Graham Phillips of the Manor Pharmacy Group; Ash Soni, Cope Pharmacy; Sultan ‘Sid’ Dajani of Wainwrights Chemists and Vijay Patel, CEO of Waymade. The panel will participate in a no-holds barred discussion on a range of topics which will allow delegates to gain a unique perspective on how the most successful pharmacy businesses are tackling the myriad of challenges and the very exciting opportunities that the changes in the healthcare landscape have presented.

THE LARGEST EVER TRADE EXHIBITION FOR PHARMACY Access advice, and the best price deals from over 400 suppliers showcasing the very latest medicines, dispensary technology, hundreds of exciting OTC products and service providers, with over 170 new exhibitors to 2013 (full list inside).

Admission policy Non-healthcare professionals, students, and minors (under the age of 18) WILL NOT be permitted into the show. Please note, there is no childcare provision at the show, so please plan in advance.

Following last year’s popular and lively panel debate all the leading pharmacy organisations such as the RPS, the NPA, the PSNC, the PDA, the GPhC and the IPF will be present to debate the current live issues. Pharmacy represents one of the largest retail channels in the UK for suppliers of medicines and healthcare products. Research shows that 84% of all UK adults visited a pharmacy in the last 12 months – with the average number of visits in a year being 14 times. The award-winning (see story below) Pharmacy Show will this year see the biggest ever exhibition showcasing more than 400 suppliers (see page 13 for the 2013 exhibitor list) – all keen to tap into the multi-billion pound pharmacy market. “There seems to be a tangible sense of excitement and anticipation about this year’s show. We are expecting our biggest ever attendance. This is an incredibly important time for pharmacy to define its future and to stand up and be counted,” said Pharmacy Group Show Director Matthew Butler. “We’re working hard – with all our partners and stakeholders in the profession – to ensure we deliver a show in September which will be able to signpost many of the answers the profession is seeking to ensure it retains its critical role in the frontline of delivering world-class patient care and is equipped to play its part in tackling the looming public health crisis,” Butler added.

OPINION

Pharmacy and commissioning – we MUST win the argument By Claire Ward, Chief Executive, The Independent Pharmacy Federation Most of us live in the security of the NHS. From birth in an NHS hospital through childhood illnesses, broken bones and operations, we have been comforted by the institution that is free at the point of use and does not discriminate. We all know family and friends whose lives have been saved or transformed by the care and treatment of NHS staff. As a mother, I know where the local hospital, doctor and pharmacist are located so that I can access them when I or my family need them. As a new mum, I used NHS Direct to reassure myself about the baby’s latest ailment, secure in the knowledge that it was a trained nurse answering my questions, referring me to A and E when they shared my worries. That security and comfort is being undermined. The NHS is under increasing pressure. The introduction of NHS 111 has been fraught with difficulties. Trained medical staff at NHS direct have been replaced with call centre staff relying upon scripts and algorithms. The system is not coping and deaths will follow. The poor response and reputation creates more insecurity and people will turn to their local A&E. A&E services appear close to meltdown as they struggle to cope with demand. Too often they see patients who frankly should not be there, but simply do not know where else to go during weekends or out of hours. Coupled with this, many

of the NHS walk-in centres have been closed as funding is reduced and the new clinical commissioning groups reevaluate their budgets and what they can do with them.

In all of these cases the solution to the problems should start with pharmacy and primary care. More people need, should and could be treated in the community.

So the perfect storm is brewing in healthcare, undermining all our instincts that tell us we can rely on the NHS.

Pharmacy needs to step up its game. It needs a national campaign to promote community pharmacy to the public. This is not about individual commercial advantage. It should not be about Boots’, Lloyds or any independent pharmacy. It is more important than that. It is about the re-education of the public to understand the right place to access help. When they have coughs or colds and other minor ailments, or simply need advice, they should start with the pharmacy. If the pharmacist can’t help then he or she will be able to signpost to other options in the sector that can. Because if we can’t or won’t deliver that message right, then we will all face a bleak future. Our NHS is struggling in an environment where our demands are growing while our funding is reducing. This is surely untenable.

Where is community pharmacy in all of this? Sadly, not where it should be. Community pharmacy should be the answer to the question being posed by commissioners up and down the country ‘what are we going to do to reduce pressures on A and E?’ Patients attend A&E for EHC and when they run out of medicines. Patients with common conditions or minor ailments contact out of hours services or visit the A&E when the GP surgery is closed. They should all be seeing their pharmacist first. The policy makers and commissioners must understand the role that pharmacy can play and they must redesign services and care pathways which integrate pharmacy at the front end. Why did ministers not consider a national network of pharmacies to deliver the minor ailments service? Why are commissioners not pushing more ‘flu vaccinations to pharmacy, rather than patients attending GP surgeries? CCGs are reviewing with acute trusts and social services to prevent people coming into hospital or accelerating discharge back to their own home.

I want the security and peace of mind in knowing that if I, or my family, have a genuine emergency we can access the advice and care we need easily and quickly. All of these stories above chip away at that peace of mind. There are millions of people like me. The only way we can help is if we make a genuine, decisive and collectively committed effort to improve the quality and offering of community pharmacy. Next we have to ensure policy makers, commissioners and, above all, the public understand the value and role of community pharmacy.

Are we selling our souls Over The Counter? Blog by @SparkleWildfire There’s something beautifully logical and satisfying about a good ‘Over The Counter’ consultation. I know what you’re thinking, and yes, I should get out more. But it is true. The way I think of it is in a stepwise approach, using a systematic series of questions to eliminate products leaving you with a limited number of options to recommend. I suspect the way a patient views it may vary somewhat from “hey! I’m really being listened to!” to “oh for goodness sake shut up, I’m going to be late for the bus”. A good consultation goes like this: Step One: Establish the symptoms and check diagnosis. Decide what medicine to select; I need to know what I am trying to treat in the first place. I’m also finding out if the patient has any danger symptoms which might be suggestive of a serious illness, so I can signpost them appropriately to the right services. Once I know what the problem is, I think about what products are available to treat it over the counter Step Two: Find out about the patient’s medical history. I’m looking for anything that means the patient is at high risk of complications of the problem, meaning they need to be referred. I’m also thinking of the cautions and contraindications of the available products to treat the problem and eliminating any products that these apply to. Step Three: Find out about the patient’s drug history. I’m thinking about what drug interactions each of the available products has, and whether or not they are relevant to what

the patient is already taking. I’m also thinking about whether or not any of the patient’s medicines contain the same or similar ingredients to any of the OTC products- I don’t want to risk an overdose. I then eliminate any products that have relevant drug interactions. Step Four: Consider the evidence. At this point, there may be only a couple of products that are suitable for the patient. If there aren’t any left, I refer them to their GP or appropriate healthcare provider. Out of the ones that are left, I think about which ones the evidence says are more effective and safe and I’ll steer the patient towards that one. If there’s no good evidence for at treatment, I’m always clear with the customer about it. Sometimes they listen, sometimes they don’t, but it’s an obligation that I think needs to be done in order to sell medicines honestly and with integrity. Step Five: Consider the price. Where two products are equally efficacious, I always recommend the cheapest. Because I don’t want to waste a patient’s hard earned cash, and I think patients appreciate that. Step Six: Counsel the patient. This involves giving them all the useful little snippets of information about how to use the product effectively and -crucially- safely. It might be pointing out that the product contains paracetamol, or that it causes drowsiness, or that it works best taken at a particular time of day. So why am I on about this at the moment? One reason is the Which? report, which has found a disappointing quality of overthe-counter information being provided in some pharmacies.

However, it may well be indicative that in a world where pharmacists are under massive pressure to deliver services and dispense ever-increasing numbers of prescriptions whilst working longer hours for less pay, some are starting to lose pride in the basics. I’m not saying this is what is happening in every pharmacy or in every case, but based on how I used to feel when I managed a pharmacy, I suspect it is a factor. The other reason is the issue of self-selection of pharmacy medicines. In my humble opinion, this is a giant backwards step for the pharmacy profession. Self-selection reduces the process I described above down to a bare minimum, and reduces the possibility of introducing quality into it. Sure, we can say there will be information on the packs, but let’s be realistic about this. Patients very rarely read the leaflets before purchasing, and in my experience, if a patient has a preconceived idea of the product they want to buy, it’s very difficult to persuade them otherwise, even when there is a safety concern with their chosen product. The wares we sell can have fatal effects if they’re not used in accordance with expert knowledge and instruction, we simply cannot safely reduce the over the counter consultation to the bare minimum of words required to take money from people as quickly as possible. All I want to do is make medicines safer for people, and to do so we have to identify areas of risk before they happen, and take action to minimise them. When it comes to patient care, just hoping the worst doesn’t happen isn’t good enough.

The Pharmacy Show launches Pharmacy Show community and #pschat

The Pharmacy Show has recently launched The Pharmacy Show Community which aims to give everyone involved in pharmacy, whether operating in a community, secondary or primary care environment, a place to access a variety of independent news sources, to share ideas, discuss pressing issues, debate hot topics or simply collaborate with each other for the good of pharmacy, 365 days of the year. For further details, visit The Pharmacy Show Community website - www.pharmacyshowcommunity.co.uk. Alongside The Pharmacy Show Community, The Pharmacy Show has announced a partnership with Pharmacy Forum, a

platform enabling discussions of all things regarding pharmacy. Pharmacy Forum will host The Pharmacy Show Chat (#PSchat) Channel with a mission to connect people who are working in, studying for, or are simply interested in the field of pharmacy. Pharmacy Forum membership is completely free, as long as members keep on topic and choose the relevant sections of the forum to make posts. #PSchat hosts bi-weekly live Twitter chats led by a panel of industry experts and covers current issues in pharmacy including Commissioning Services, Self-selection of P Medicines and Medicines Shortages. Each chat is focussed around one particular subject and allows everyone involved in pharmacy to raise questions, respond and debate key issues in real-time, before moving on to Pharmacy Forum where a more lengthy debate can take place.

largest online gathering of community pharmacists, we are always looking for ways to enable collaboration in the pharmaceutical industry and partnering with Pharmacy Forum was a natural progression.”

A view from the frontline By Mark Robinson, Medicines Management Partnership

I was going to use the standard term – at the crossroads – but community pharmacy has been at the crossroads too long and I wonder whether things have gone too far and we should really think the unthinkable. I was stimulated to write this blog for a number of reasons: • A small chain of community pharmacies going into administration • A general feeling in community pharmacy that ‘things are tough’ – when many seem to be facing quite severe financial and cash flow pressures • The Locum rates falling to a point where you can comfortably earn more as a tube train driver • A series of worrying stories of pharmacies entering into ‘sharp practices’, often I would suggest at the instigation of businesses under severe economic pressure Community pharmacy has always been the most effective procurement arm of the NHS, but with the introduction of category M, the NHS earns large amounts of money through community pharmacy procurement. And with ever increasing prescription numbers, prescription complexity and current out of stock problems, the workload is increasing with a fall in total income. But who cares? Everyone in the NHS is facing the same problem. GPs are always telling us this. Well I care and we need to talk

about this openly. We also need to ask the question about what we now want from community pharmacy going forward. I have spoken recently, some might say frequently about the rich community based asset that community pharmacy is. Usually located in the places where people live or shop – a cornerstone of our communities at a time when communities and high streets are under tremendous pressure. We want community pharmacy to play a bigger role in public health, out of hours and providing advice and treatment to patients relieving the pressure on general practice and in turn hospitals. The accountants say it’s tough, but community pharmacy will pull through – but that does depend on an improving economy and additional money diverted into community pharmacy based services. I wish I shared their optimism – but then they are accountants and a business closed is a client lost – so they shout ‘hold on in there and keep paying the accountancy bills – it will get better’. But the community pharmacy contract is not helpful and does not shift the focus from procurement profit to service delivery yet. England is miles behind Scotland and many of the locally

enhanced services have moved ownership. These services are fragmented and localised. I know that localisation is good, but administration is increased and duplicated when I thought that we were going to sort out innovation and spread of good practice following Innovation, Health and Wealth? I know that the Chief Pharmacist is looking at ways of relaxing supervision requirements, but that is tinkering with airspace rather than a solid solution. So where might we end up? Well smaller community pharmacies will become unviable. They don’t have purchasing power and without the additional service contracts, they might close. Don’t think that the multiple chains will take over – they will ‘divest’ their least profitable pharmacies. It’s business! So you might not find a community pharmacy near your home, within your community, on your high street. You may have to travel further to get your medicines dispensed, your questions answered, the support you value. I hate the thought, but your medicines may plop through your letterbox in the ubiquitous Jiffy bag. You may need to spend more time in your GP practice. But it doesn’t have to be like this.

Introducing Eucerin AtoControl Eucerin AtoControl is an exciting development in skin care management suitable for use with eczema. Whether we call it atopic eczema or atopic dermatitis, young babies and children – not forgetting their parents – this can be a particularly distressing condition. The urge to scratch is innate, but will only damage the skin further, while the distress can be expressed in incessant crying and disturbed sleep. But now, as well as offering advice and treatment, you can also recommend they try AtoControl, a brand new range of daily and acute care skin products that have been

specially developed to be suitable for eczema prone skin by dermatology experts Eucerin. Suitable for babies from one month onwards to adults, the new Eucerin AtoControl range intensively moisturises to relieve and help protect dry, irritated skin – even helping to break the itch cycle. 87% of parents said it was calming and soothing for their child’s skin*. Clinical studies have confirmed that regular use of products from the AtoControl range should result in skin that feels softer, more hydrated, comfortable and with a notable reduction in the urge to scratch, 85% said it visibly reduces itchiness*. The secret is in the unique ingredients complex:

•

Omega-6 fatty acids obtained from evening primrose and grape seed oil to help support the skin’s natural lipid barrier. Studies suggest it can help reduce the severity of eczema if applied regularly via a skin preparation

The Eucerin AtoControl range launches through UK and ROI pharmacies in October and the products range in RRP from £12 to £16. For more information please visit www.eucerin.co.uk or our stand (D50 – Beiersdorf/Eucerin) at the Pharmacy Show. *Eucerin Clinical Study, BDF assessment centre, March 2013.

• Menthoxypropanediol soothes the skin • Licorice Extract has a calming, anti-inflammatory effect • Decanediol has an antibacterial effect

New hope for millions of asthma sufferers. Mussel oil in lyprinol slashes dependence on inhalers by 83% An oil discovered in New Zealand mussels by British scientists in the 1980s could offer new hope to millions of asthma sufferers around the world, according to groundbreaking new research. The study, led by Professor Timothy D. Mickleborough at Indiana University, found that the oil from New Zealand mussels - found only in Lyprinol reduced dependence on inhalers by a staggering 83 per cent and improved the lung function of asthmatics who suffer from exercise-induced attacks by 59 per cent. Other recent studies have shown that Lyprinol can also significantly help osteoarthritis sufferers, reducing their pain levels by 89 per

cent and dramatically improving their quality of life. The oil, called PCSO-524, was first discovered by Dr Sheila Gibson and used to treat arthritis-related inflammation at Glasgow's Victoria Infirmary in 1980. Today, Lyprinol is commonly used to support joint health and reduce inflammation related to conditions including osteoarthritis. It is the only product available that contains PCSO-524. Prof Mickleborough said: "These findings are a real breakthrough, and offer new hope for asthma sufferers all over the world. Reducing the dependence on inhalers will offer those who suffer from asthma a new freedom, while the ability to lower the risk of exercise-induced

asthma attacks will allow sufferers to increase their health and pursue their athletic ambitions more freely. "We already know the benefits of Lyprinol for those with osteoarthritis, but this new study indicates that this supplementand the mussel oil PCSO-524 - offers more health-giving potential than we previously thought. It's hugely exciting." Prof Mickleborough's study has been published in the peerreviewed British journal, Respiratory Medicine. It is also available online: http://bit.ly/10oZJEk

The First Pharmacy Show Chat

To take part in the next live Twitter chat, log on to twitter and follow @pharmacyshow or go to www.pharmacyshowchat.co.uk

June 19th 2013 saw the First Pharmacy Show Chat take place, ably facilitated by Fin McCaul, Chairman of the Independent Pharmacy Federation (IPF). The chat followed a number of questions posed to the eager participants: By Mark Robinson

Q1. How does community pharmacy overcome the challenge to prepare and deliver a local agenda There seemed to be a consensus that some innovators and adopters have already made some progress, but the greatest challenge might be in bringing the majority on board. Several comments seem to agree that community pharmacy was a diverse group and in some ways an isolated group with a real need to work closer together. There seemed to be a hope that the LPN might fill some of this role. I was particularly interested in the comments about paperwork, which was followed up by comments on bureaucracy and red tape. There was a feeling that this might get worse, with localisation that the Area Teams should work to improve.

Q2. How does pharmacy become a proactive profession? Can it, is it, what is needed? There was a general view that Community Pharmacy lacked political clout. I am not sure that I agree that it is ‘lost’, but would agree with many that suggest it needs to formulate a more coherent position, be more connected and get its voice heard. There was the usual discussion about rates, but an interesting question from the main man as to how we put more value in patient outcomes (pharmacy delivered) and drive the market value back up? An interesting addition from James was that pharmacy should stop whinging and leaders should start leading and that it will change with effort.

Fin McCaul

Q3. What are the challenges for community pharmacy in relation to spending time with patients to enable the safe use of medicines I was concerned about the comments about workload, stress and exhaustion, but delighted about the passion for patients that was expressed. There was a fascinating question posed by Dr Chris Green – would a move away from being paid for the number of dispensed items be enabling or a nail in the coffin? There were several comments about the current pharmacy contract and the lack of alignment with the GP contract and I would say that somewhat mixed views on the delivery of joint working between GPs and community pharmacists. Jonathan did, however, remind us that NHS England have the ability to make these contracts interdependent and that some of the representative bodies like the NAPC recognise the role of pharmacy and ‘get’ the benefits of joint working. What do patients want? Some felt that patients wanted a McDonalds type pharmacy – fast and anonymous. Public awareness seems to be a significant problem, particularly when we felt that community pharmacy USPs were position within communities and patient relationships. I think that Fin’s summary was particularly pertinent – lots of engagement and discussion and not enough time. Pharmacists are all really passionate for the future that we all need to harness. For me – I just hope that we are not here in 5 years’ time discussing the same problems and the same aspiration.

Peter Fleming Hi Tech Solutions

Peter Fleming has developed a range of products to wear that looks stylish as well as being therapeutic. This is a very modern take on a science that has been known about for centuries. The body is an electrical field with a surplus of positive ions. However, achieving equilibrium of both negative and positive ions give the blood vessels and the muscles of our body their best chance of working to optimum effect. There are many ways in which this combination of magnets and negative ions can make an impact especially in the areas of physical activities where it will improve suppleness. A whole range has been developed : from bracelets, necklaces and belts right through to tee shirts and all contain negative ions and magnets that improve the blood supply to the muscles. It is also good for relieving the pain of arthritis, tendinitis, muscular inflammation and back pain and can also make an impact on those with sleep disorders, vertigo and fatigue as well as offering relief from travel sickness Contact: Peter Fleming Hi Tech Solutions, 4 bd Pershing, 75017 PARIS, France Tel: +33 (0)1 45 74 95 30 Fax: +33 (0)1 45 74 95 29 @: peterfleming@peter-fleming.fr www.peter-fleming.com
