Several elements supported the developments in pharmacy services in Northern Ireland and one of the results was a £200 million saving over an eight-year period, according to Professor Cathy Harrison https://medicalupdateonline.com/2025/01/how-new-pharmacy-services-saved-20-million-per-year-in-northern-ireland/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

Clinical pharmacy services in Northern Ireland are well-developed and delivered by a skilled and growing workforce, about 30% of which are now independent prescribers, according to Professor Cathy Harrison https://medicalupdateonline.com/2025/01/how-innovative-clinical-pharmacy-services-were-funded-and-implemented-in-northern-ireland/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

Even in the best systems things occasionally go wrong. When a serious incident occurred in one hospital, it prompted a review of procedures and underlined the need for everyone to be aware of the correct procedures https://medicalupdateonline.com/2024/12/case-study-responding-to-a-large-hazardous-spillage/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

At University Hospitals, Leuven the process for managing hazardous drugs from prescription to disposal is carefully controlled. At every stage, well-planned procedures minimise the risks of occupational exposure for the staff involved, Birgit Tans https://medicalupdateonline.com/2024/12/how-to-make-the-ec-guidance-work-in-practice/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

Working with HMPs calls for safe systems to minimise the risks of occupational exposure for staff. However, monitoring of contamination must also be undertaken to check that systems are working, according to Birgit Tans https://medicalupdateonline.com/2024/12/how-much-contamination-is-too-much-in-the-workplace/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

The European Commission guidance document has been designed to lead users through issues relevant to their areas of practice when it comes to handling hazardous drugs, says Dr Paul Sessink https://medicalupdateonline.com/2024/12/what-the-ec-guidance-tells-us-about-handling-hazardous-medicinal-products/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

The provision of ready-to-administer bevacizumab syringes makes administration safer and quicker but finding a source of suitable syringes remains a challenge, says Dr Philip Chennell https://medicalupdateonline.com/2024/11/why-ready-to-administer-syringes-improve-clinical-care/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

Storage of bevacizumab injection solution in cross-linked silicone syringes was associated with less particle formation than when conventional polypropylene syringes were used, according to Dr Philip Chennell https://medicalupdateonline.com/2024/11/how-the-syringe-lubricant-interacts-with-the-drug-inside-it/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

Plastic syringes require lubrication with silicone oil in order to work smoothly. However, silicone oil can migrate into the drug solution and has the potential to interact with therapeutic proteins, altering their structure or stability. We spoke to Dr Philip Chennell to find out more https://medicalupdateonline.com/2024/11/why-syringe-type-matters-for-intravitreal-injections/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic
