NPS MedicineWise has announced the recipients of the 2018 National MedicineWise Awards, as part of last week's 10th National Medicines Symposium in Canberra.
Winning entries this year included new approaches to sustaining mental health, better medicines management in aged care services, new health care apps, pharamacotherapeutics for remote area nurses and initiatives to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Nicole McDerby from the University of Canberra won the Excellence in Consumer Information category for a submission about piloting a residential care pharmacist model within the aged care setting.
The judges said her research highlighted "many promising areas for improving quality use of medicines, including improved safety in medication administration in a population at high risk of medication misadventure".
