It's true, Christmas can feel like a lot of work, particularly for mothers. But when you look back on all the Christmases in your life, you'll find you've created family traditions and lasting memories. Those memories, good and bad, are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul. Santa Claus is anyone who loves another and seeks to make them happy; who gives himself by thought or word or deed in every gift that he bestows.
L. Cameron Pharmacy wishing you all merry Christmas and all the best for during festive period.

Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

Lateral flow tests (LFTs) also known as lateral flow immunochromatographic assays or rapid tests, are simple devices intended to detect the presence of a target substance in a liquid sample without the need for specialized and costly equipment.

LFTs operate on the same principles as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).

How to take the test:

Taking a lateral flow test usually involves taking a sample from the back of the throat near the tonsils and the nose, or from the nose only, using a swab.

The swab is dipped into an extraction solution. This is then dripped on to the device's paper pad, producing the reaction that gives the result.

The tests give a quick result, as the sample does not need to be sent to a lab.

Test Result:

Negative result: one line next to C shows the test is negative.

Void: no lines, or one line next to T, means the test is void. You will need to re-take with a fresh test kit.

Positive result: 2 lines, one next to C and one next to T, even faint lines, shows the test is positive.

More than 6 million diabetes tests missed during the pandemic.
Over a 6-month period in 2020, more than 6.6 million diabetes tests were missed nationally, including 5.2 million diagnostic and 1.4 million monitoring HbA1c tests, according to a retrospective study presented at this year’s virtual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD).

It is estimated that 5–10% of patients with prediabetes convert to diabetes each year’,. ‘This suggests that tens of thousands of these patients are likely to become patients with full-blown diabetes across the UK because of the missed tests (Professor Fryer)

Pharmacy: Always trusted for your health” will be the theme of World Pharmacists Day on 25 September

Evidence indicates a significant association between trust in healthcare professionals and health outcomes for patients.

“Pharmacy has built up a reserve of trust over many years of caring, positive relationships, expertise and excellent practice, all delivered with consistency.

For many years, pharmacists have consistently been named among the top five most trusted professionals in national surveys.

Positive relationships: Our genuine interest in our patients and time taken to listen to their needs, as well as our extra efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, have helped us to establish meaningful connections and continue to build positive relationships.

Competency/expertise : We typically complete a four-year Master of Pharmacy degree or a doctorate in pharmacy, followed by a preregistration year/internship. Once registered, we undertake lifelong learning or further training to become more specialised.

Consistency : As the most accessible healthcare provider in many parts of the world, working in premises that operate longer working hours than many other healthcare facilities, we and our pharmacies are more able to demonstrate, consistently, our skills and caring.

Congratulations and thank you to all pharmacists on world pharmacist day .
