PBS reform opportunityTASMANIAN PSA branchpresident Shane Jackson says that

the threat to pharmacy posed

by accelerated price disclosure

c b c

opportunity for the profession.

The changes announced by

former PM Kevin Rudd just before

h c wk c

have led to a major campaign from

stakeholders across the sector,

lines of pharmacies by an averageof $90,000 each next year.

However Jackson says that any

restructure package will give

an opportunity to transform

h u f

community pharmacy - to remove

the focus on trading terms with

generic medicines and instead

k u f c

that pharmacies provide through

community pharmacy.

In my view, we must have a

community pharmacy restructure

pck...whu h c

number of pharmacy jobs will

be lost, pharmacy graduates will

services that the community has

expected pharmacists to deliver will

reduce, Jackson said.

He urged that rather than a

token gesture, any package should

focus on changes that the sector

has been trying to make but has

struggled to realise because of

h cu u ucu

of the community pharmacyagreements.

Jackson said the Pharmacy

expand both in terms of the

number of PPI programs available

w u .

Simply, community pharmacy

has been delivering too much

to the community for no

u h u p.

The community must understand

that these services come at a cost...

these services should be funded

and delivered appropriately.

Jackson said the current

u c ppuy

to have a more transparentmechanism around community

pharmacy reimbursement for

phcuc.

It is this lack of transparency

that has allowed the media to

portray community pharmacists

as greedy, when in essence the

system agreed to by the Guild and

the Government has allowed this to

occur, he added.

Jackson said pharmacists should

adding that while PPI programs

provide some funding it is by no

Services provided by pharmacists

reduce healthcare system spending

and we must now be remunerated

appropriately.

SCIENTISTS at the US

they have discovered a new

chemical which could render

people invisible to mosquitos.

They unveiled their work at the

recent American Chemical Society

, y h h uy

occurring substance found in

human skin could form a viable

If it works it would be a major

bkhuh h b

malaria, with the compounds

including 1-methylpiperazine

found to completely block a

mosquitos sense of smell.

If you put your hand in a cage

of mosquitoes where we have

released some of these inhibitors,

almost all just sit on the back wall

and dont even recognise that the

hand is in there, said one of the

researchers, Ulrich Bernier.

If a mosquito cant sense that

dinner is ready, there will be no

buzzing, no landing and no bite.

MICROBIOLOGISTS have found

that washing your hands with

soap in public restrooms may be

somewhat of a health hazard.

According to a report in the

Cleveland Plain Dealer, c

led by Gojo Industries found that
