THEMED ‘Science Informing Practice, Practice Informing Science’, this year’s Australasian Pharmaceutical Science Association annual conference was opened on Monday at the University of South Australia. In his opening address Professor Ian Olver, the CEO of the Cancer Council Australia (pictured above) spoke of future developments for cancer over the next decade with a focus on its detection and treatment. Olver highlighted important developments in the evidence related to the prevention of cancer – in particular the ability to screen tumours for genetic mutations that will provide the focus of more targeted future treatments. Olver also spoke on the challenges in maintaining the currency of information and evidence about cancer diagnosis, screening and treatment. Web-based digital technology innovations by the Cancer Council to meet this challenge include the Mediawiki Cancer Guidelines which provide real time access to evidence on the best care for cancer, reducing the lag time between evidence generation and dissemination, as well as the Cancer Council’s iheard website which addresses myths related to cancer causes and treatments and allows people to submit questions and have them answered by experts.

THE Australian Lung Foundation recently launched a new public health campaign, ‘Show Us Your Lungs’ to get Australians to take lung health seriously. The launch follows recent research which found that in general, Aussies ignore their lung health. According to the Newspoll survey one in three Australians do not consider their lungs to be important, despite the fact that around 50 Aussies die of lung disease every day. The cheeky ‘Show Us Your Lungs’ campaign launch saw a team of “lung flashers” wander around the streets of Sydney in dubious trenchcoats flashing unsuspecting Sydney-siders their lungs (pictured above). The campaign is being supported by consumer information flyers and posters available in GP surgeries, a new community service announcement and the campaign’s creative and educational video content, featuring actor John Jarratt. See www.lungfoundation.com.au.

AUSTRALIAN TV personality and sun aficionado, Catriona Rowntree, helped kick off the SunSense UV Photobus tour last week, getting in for a consultation before the crowds descended. The bus’ first ports of call over the weekend included the sun-drenched Sydney streets of Manly and Cronulla, with Rowntree lending her iconic image and voice to the call for Australians to come and have their skin checked by the SunSense team, and to learn about sun safety. The bus is now set to travel the length of the country over summer offering Aussies the opportunity to have a free UV damage check, and to get sun protection advice from a skin expert as well as free products to take home. Rowntree is pictured above with a SunSense Photobus Skin Expert.

TERRY White Chemists Cleveland, on Brisbane’s bayside, has amped up its services by employing a full time floor pharmacist, Victoria Schultz, whose sole purpose is to provide customer advice. “The customers love her,” said proprietor Toan Nguyen. Speaking about her new role Victoria, said “Sadly, I think people have become quite used to having dwindling access to pharmacists. “It’s great to be in a position to be able to devote all of my time to providing advice, because a lot of the time, it’s the very thing people are seeking when they come in to see us. “More importantly, it’s often that little bit of time you spend speaking with someone that can make all the difference in terms of their health particularly when it comes to any potential issues with their medication and underlying conditions,” she added. Victoria is pictured above in consultation with a pharmacy patient.

Leading Australian commentators met over breakfast with media in Sydney this month, to discuss the alarming results of the Bupa Health Pulse Survey 2011 (Pharmacy Daily 15 Oct). Results from the Survey found that whilst six out of ten Aussies have a Body Mass Index in the obese range, only one third consider themselves overweight. In fact Australia was found to sit in third place on the international stage in terms of obese citizens, behind America and Saudi Arabia. “With the amount of online health information available, the question remains whether we are using it to our advantage or whether it’s making us feel more overwhelmed and confused,” said Dr Bert Boffa, Head of Medical Services for Bupa. Pictured above are the panel members from the Bupa Health Pulse Breakfast (from left) Dr Lisa Studdert, Acting CEO of the Australian National Preventive Health Agency; David Chalke, social analyst; Michelle Bridges, celebrity fitness trainer; Mia Freedman, columnist and author and Dr Bert Boffa, Head of Medical Services for Bupa.

BLUE September is calling on Australian pharmacists to step up efforts this month in starting conversations with customers about male cancer. The call comes on the back of the Blue September Quilton launch, in which pharmacy-only Quilton toilet tissues hit pharmacy stores, with the aim of raising funds for the cause. “A lot of Australians feel more comfortable talking to their pharmacist than they do with their doctor,” a Blue September spokesperson told PD. “Pharmacists are in a really great position to start conversations about this important topic,” the spokesperson added. The charity is also reminding pharmacists that they only have until 30 September to send in their Blue September in-store display photographs for their chance to win a five night stay in the Napa Valley, California. The first prize includes five nights at The Villagio Spa in the Napa Valley for two people, including dinner and a wine tour, as well as two nights in LA with flights and transport (total value $9,000). The three runners up will receive a $100 Men’s Health magazine pack, a $100 Marie Claire beauty pack and a $200 Rebel Sport voucher. “Pharmacists are really jumping onboard,” said the spokesperson. “Having a great display really gets the ball rolling with discussion,” the spokesperson added. Photo entries should be emailed to amym@blueseptember.org.
