From Concept to Practice: an emergency contraception decision-making tool for community pharmacists
Preventing unintended pregnancy is a national and international public health priority, given an estimated 50% of pregnancies are unintended, with approximately 60% of these ending in abortion. Women in rural areas are 1.4 times more likely to experience an unintended pregnancy due to limited reproductive healthcare access. Emergency hormonal contraception (ECP), an effective intervention to prevent pregnancy, is supplied through community pharmacy, with pharmacists charged with ensuring access is timely, equitable and patient-centred, to optimise outcomes. This study aims to explore the supply of ECP and evaluate the implementation of an ECP decision-making tool in Australian community pharmacies. It aims to improve access, streamline and standardise optimal ECP supply in busy community pharmacies.
Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination in Cancer Patients in a NQ Tertiary Referral Hospital.
Cancer patients are at higher risk of morbidity and mortality from influenza and pneumococcal infections. There is strong evidence that cancer patients are under vaccinated due to patient, healthcare professional and health organisation barriers. Pharmacists have had an increase role in vaccinating the population through community pharmacies and has seen a large positive uptake. This project will assess the perceptions of cancer patients and healthcare professionals working in a cancer unit on a potential pharmacist led vaccination clinic.
