Community Practice Chapter With pharmacists as pioneers, Health Promotion Board has developed increasing interest in Health Ambassador Programme and rolled out the similar structure to other sectors. The newly formed General Practitioners and Allied Health Network (set up by Health Promotion Board) also provided an excellent platform for community pharmacists to showcase our excellent work in Health Ambassador Programme. Health Ambassador Day Dinner at Suntec City (10 Feb 2012) Future initiatives include: - E-learning for health ambassador training - Incorporating health promotion in pre-registration training - Health Choice (Patient Counselling Aid) Pilot Programme Update on Reclassification of Prescription medicines PSS works closely with the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in the reclassification of medicines. The main role of PSS is to produce patient information leaflets (PILs) for the reclassified medicines. These PILs are prepared by the Reclassification Education Support Subcommittee and are made available on the HSA website. Pharmacists are encouraged to provide these to the patients upon recommendation and dispensing of these P-only items. In 2011, PSS produced the PILs for acyclovir 5% dermatological, beclomethasone nasal spray, budesonide nasal spray, cimetidine oral preparations, oral domperidone, famotidine, ibuprofen, omeprazole and ranitidine. These preparations were reclassified before 2011 but PILs were not available. In addition, PSS also produced PILs for medicines that were reclassified in July 2011 including oral ambroxol, bromhexine, desloratadine, fexofenadine and triamcinolone oral paste and medicines reclassified in Jan 2012 including ketotifen eye drops and oral desloratadine/pseudoephedrine and fexofenadine/pseudoephedrine. In addition, as part of quality assurance and building greater confidence in driving more reclassification, mandatory documentation of all P medicine dispensing was introduced on 1 Feb 2012.
