Farewell RGH E-Bulletin
December 22, 2015
After around 15 years and
some 750 newsletter bulletins, the
Repatriation and General Hospital
(RGH) Pharmacy Department has
announced that as a result of
internal reorganisations within SA
Health, the RGH and its pharmacy
department are scheduled for
closure.
The RGH Pharmacy E-Bulletin
was first sent out in March 2001
and, with exception of brief
summer holiday breaks, has been
distributed every week since then
to thousands of readers.
Staff of the RGH pharmacy
department, including the patient
services section and the Drug and
Therapeutics Information Service,
DATIS, have been involved in the
publication.
More than 100 staff have made
contributions to the newsletters
covering a broad range of topics
such as new drug profiles,
treatment guidelines, important
adverse drug reactions and
regulatory issues.
Pharmacists, pharmacy
technicians, nurses, doctors, other
healthcare professionals, academics
and consumers around Australia
and the world are among those
who have received the e-bulletin
each week, many engaging with
a spectrum of feedback, the
pharmacy department said.
The department has expressed
its sadness at having to cease the
long history of service but has
extended to all contributors and
readers a happy and healthy festive
season with reflection on the value
of sharing and generosity, the
key values of the RGH Pharmacy
E-Bulletin over the years.
