"the climate crisis is a healthcare crisis" - and healthcare has to change in order to be sustainable. Great to be at the @EAHPtweet #eahp2024 congress on sustainable pharmacy and healthcare, hearing about opportunities and solutions

Medicines and medical devices make up 50% of the carbon footprint of healthcare. Great work by The Shift Project showing there ARE choices we can make. Eg. Carbon footprint of ibuprofen can be reduced by 50% - how do we factor this into healthcare policy and purchasing?

Last week was MedsAware Deprescribing Action Week. With this year’s being ‘Ask because you care’, it seeks to empower older Australians, Australians living with a disability & their carers to ask health professionals: “Could any of these medicines be doing more harm than good?”

Today at Parliament House, Tom Simpson Tom Simpson FANZCAP met w/ Mike Stephens, Medicines Policy and Programs Director at Our Health in Our Hands ❤️💛🖤🤝 Always great to meet with NACCHO as we look ahead to continuing our partnership with a greater goal of closing the gap.

Showing compassion is not a sign of weakness. It’s a source of strength. In the early days of COVID, the more CEOs expressed concern for employees, the less company stock prices fell. Each statement of concern was worth 2.5% better returns. It pays to care about people.

Tom Simpson ‘As our healthcare system braces to manage increased complexity of chronic comorbidities, advanced pharmacy expands the boundaries of Australian pharmacy to effect meaningful change, so innovative pharmacy expertise can be fully harnessed for the benefit of patients everywhere.'

📣 Our striking new look draws on the imagery of four intersecting circles, capturing the essence of collaboration and inclusivity at the heart of Advanced Pharmacy Australia. buff.ly/3AKlPyH
