Authors: Vassallo, Pierre
Abstract: The demand for plastic surgery procedures with or without the use of implants or soft tissue fillers has increased dramatically over the years. In 2017, 17.5 million cosmetic surgical procedures were performed in the US; 1.8 million were cosmetic surgical procedures, while 15.7 million were minimally invasive procedures. The most common surgical procedures were breast augmentation, liposuction, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery and tummy tucks; the most common minimally invasive procedures included Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox) injection, soft tissue fillers, chemical peel, laser hair removal and microdermabrasion. Although there are no available statistics for Malta, the demand for such procedures has grown locally as well.2018-01-01T00:00:00ZThe vocation of being a pharmacistAzzopardi, MarikaFenech, Simonehttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/368392019-05-22T05:53:05Z2018-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The vocation of being a pharmacist

Abstract: Hospital pharmacy is a specialised field of pharmacy within the healthcare service which entails the procurement, storage, compounding and dispensing of medications and medical devices. It also involves advising healthcare professionals and patients on their safe, effective and efficient use. In accordance to the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP), the mission of each hospital pharmacist is to enhance the safety and quality of all medicine-related processes affecting patients whilst ensuring that the seven “rights” are respected: right patient, right dose, right route, right time, right drug with the right information and right documentation. Being part of the medication management within a hospital, each hospital pharmacist must strive to optimise the use of medicines such as ensuring the correct dosage regimen and promote adherence to prescribed treatment by patients.2018-01-01T00:00:00ZThe Synapse : the Medical Professionals' Network : volume 17 : issue 3https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/367492020-05-21T14:31:57Z2018-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The Synapse : the Medical Professionals' Network : volume 17 : issue 3
