One of the the smaller specialised newsletters I try to get out to a wider audience is the HAI Africa Practical Pharmacy Newsletter. It can take months to get the current edition on to the website.
This edition looks at looking at symptoms, diagnosis, management and complications of Diabetes Mellitus
Practical Pharmacy Newsletter (PPN) is targeted at frontline health workers in developing countries who may not have training in pharmacy. It seeks to provide them with objective, practical information on medicines supply and management.
Production of the original Practical Pharmacy Newsletter ran from 1996 to 2000 by ECHO International Health Services, with support from the UK Department of International Development and the World Health Organization. These first editions of Practical Pharmacy laid a solid foundation, beginning from basic essential skills for medicine management in a health centre setting (storing medicines, stock control, etc) and moving on to patient-centred topics (rational prescribing, medicines in pregnancy and the elderly, etc).
HAI Africa re-launched the newsletter in October 2006. Its editorial team identifies themes and topics for each edition, reviews and validates content, and disseminates the newsletter through various networks.

Lately I seem to have become a bit of a file linker and server. But many of the smaller specialised newsletters I find worthwhile and wish to share either don’t have a home on the web or are only put up quite some time later. The Victorian Residential Aged Care Coronial Communique is a case in point.
Another specialised newsletter is the HAI Africa Practical Pharmacy Newsletter. Again the current edition is not on the web. Previous editions can be found here. Click on the picture to download the current issue 7MB)

This newsletter is designed to help train indigenous workers in Africa about all things pharmacy. The current edition focuses on the basic building block of logistics. Stock Control.
It covers everything from ordering to stock management and expired drug disposal. In remote Australia we can receive medications regularly by plane and no cost but many of these principles we still use in our clinics.
