Mistakes we admit to, and try to correct anyway (I hope),
and as for interventions - there is a need (at least within the UK) to demonstrate our usefulness and the need for pharmacists.

Hi.

I do see your point but I still do not see that names need to be placed on these lists.

As for interventions I see them as the same as the new CPD regs. There is no pharmacist that works who does not do at least a dozen interventions and CPD applicable information phone calls a week. Maybe we do need to show our worth but all it amounts to in the end is more paperwork
