Editorial Summer is a time for holiday with sunshine and outdoor activities! While sharing the exciting moments with our friends and family, it is also a wonderful moment to share interesting cases and gather idea during Pharmacy Practice Forum in July. In the Forum, some of our colleagues shared their experience in dealing with paediatric caring. Don’t worry if you missed the forum. The forum recap will definitely help you in recalling the memory. Though we are working hard to improve the quality of pharmaceutical service, strengthening the fundamental elements of our service is also very important. Different systems have been implemented to improve the accuracy of the dispensing process in our daily practice; however, the fundamental principle of these systems may be missed. One of our colleagues shares her experience in dealing with a near-miss case and shows us the importance of staff education.

Nutritional support is one of the pharmaceutical services that we provide. Among various ready-to-use formulations on the market, it may not be easy to decide which one is the most suitable for individual patients. The Clinical Pearls focused on how pharmacists can help in suggesting appropriate parenteral nutritional product for patients. If you have encountered any interesting cases in your work, do not hesitate to share with us through the email address: [email protected].

Cases with atrial fibrillation (AF) are commonly seen during our daily practice though it may not be easy for us to handle. In this issue, a colleague presents us a challenge regarding AF management in the new column clinical twister, showing different considerations during providing evidence-based therapy to patients. As in previous issues, you will not miss the inspiring story as well as the young pharmacist sharing! Without contributions from a number of people, the newsletter can never be published successfully; and of course, your contribution is most welcomed! While enjoying the October issue of the SHPHK Connection, you are welcome to use this newsletter as a tool to share with other colleagues about daily operation or clinical cases during your daily work! We are looking forward to your comments and opinions!

Eva LAI is a resident pharmacist working in the United Christian Hospital.
