Editorial Welcome to the first issue of SHPHK Newsletter for the year of 2013! After the “TransPharmAction”, which is the theme of the 25th Anniversary of Hong Kong Pharmacy Conference, I think “Transformation” is still “embedded” in our heart and happening in our daily practice. Hence, we embrace diversity, vividness and innovative ideas in the newsletter. We hope that you would enjoy this issue and the new ideas that our colleagues share when flipping through the pages. “Transformation” or “Changes” to a simply put, is not just always talking about “Big Issues” or “Rocket Sciences”. It does happen in our daily pharmacy practices through close observation! Thanks to Ms. Grace Cheng (resident pharmacist of Queen Elizabeth Hospital) and Ms. Fanny Kwok (pharmacist of Kowloon Hospital), who will share the near-miss event regarding the use of intravenous pamidronate in a renal impaired patient with severe hypercalcaemia and the medication safety tips of IV pamidronate.

The SHPHK Connection welcomes articles submitted by readers. The articles are accepted for publication subject to editorial abridgment or modification.

Of course, it is still inevitable that we would link“Transformation” to the cutting-edge technology, then you must not miss out the article “Discussion on the Future Models of Hospital Drug Distribution System” written by Ms. S. C. Chaing(senior pharmacist of the Chief Pharmacist Office) and Mr. Ng Man Keung (pharmacist from Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital). In their article, they will share with us what they have learnt regarding the decentralized drug distribution system during Pharmacy Practice Forum, which is currently employed by St. Teresa’s Hospital. Also, Ms. Chaing, being one of the speakers of the forum as well, will highlight the comparisons of various models of hospital drug distribution technology among different countries.

“Transformation” successful? Luckily, the answers can be found in the “Letter to the HK Pharmacy Conference Organizing Committee” written by Mr. Michael Ling. Mr. Ling, who is the chairman of Hong Kong Pharmacy Conference 2013 (Silver Jubilee), will take us to his “journey of transformation” through moving out of his comfort zone. In addition, team work and good leadership skills are also the key steps to make the “Transformation” successful. Therefore, Storyman will also tell us how the “V Formation”, which is the flying pattern of the wild geese, can make them to sail through the hostile environment. Last but not least, Ms. Daisy Lam (pharmacist of Kwong Wah Hospital) will share about how she “transforms” her medication education platform from routine pharmacy setting into radio station, through the radio programme, “長進課程 - 智談 保健品”, joined by Hong Kong Radio Station (RTHK), SHPHK and St. James' Settlement. So, are you filled with the ideas of ‘Transformation” in your mind now? Please feel free to give us suggestions or submissions through our e-mail ([email protected])!
