Brilliant paper on why promethazine is not a good option to aid sleep, and yet prescribing of it has doubled in last 5 yrs. What about OTC sales too, and also diphenhydramine.

Delighted to see this report published today. I undertook the research via my consultancy, Watson Research & Training, and much of the evidence was derived from the Dunhill Medical Trust & Chief Scientist Office studies that explored the medicine-related needs of older people with sensory impairment

Insightful accounts & interesting perspectives of the evolving Pharmacy Technician role in Primary Care. As we brace ourselves for another landscape change, this @pcpa-uk.bsky.social skills matrix couldn't come at a better time. Workforce planning will be vital for challenges ahead #GPSky #PharmSky
