Edition #29 Newsletter

Welcome to Edition #29 of Computachem E-Newsletter.
In this edition we see Rollo Manning extend his pharmacist job model to include two new information panels, and he begins an explanation and commentary, on a page linked to various points in the model. Your participation is invited, and your comments will be included as Rollo progresses with his assignment.
We also welcome Ken Stafford back, and in his current article he discusses some of the remuneration issues facing pharmacists, as they come to terms with their rapidly changing world.
Allan Jelleff launches into part two of the debate series regarding approval numbers in medical centre pharmacies, and advances some very sound and logical arguments in favour of unrestricted approval numbers.
Our e-commerce article for this edition discusses the Pharmacy Board withdrawal from the Peter Brown (Pharmacy Direct) prosecution and how e-pharmacy is progressing in popularity with online customers, along with suggestions for official pharmacy involvement in e-commerce.
Jon Aldous departs slightly from his series on education with the message that we should "Advertise the Learning" to improve our media image. This is a thoughtful article and one well worth reading.
Peter Sayers advances his idealised model for consultant pharmacists and in this article, develops the interactivity of consultant pharmacy with forward pharmacy.
This is developing into a very interesting concept, with practical ideas that can be utilised now.
Finally, our guest Roundup columnist has forwarded a news clipping on a new type of pharmacy being developed for a really remote part of Australia. While the news item is only short, our columnist promises to provide some very interesting background material in the near future.
The E-Pharma Conference is now over, and we will endeavour to publish some extracts from some of the papers presented in subsequent editions.
A wealth of knowledge was delivered at this conference, and should provide a much needed confidence boost to those people interested in developing an e-commerce venture.

The newsletter archives are now fully searchable via the search engine on the left hand side of this page.
