When I was at uni, GP Pharmacists weren't a thing. Not the norm 5yrs ago when I started. It’s gaining momentum, but still not the norm now.

We are going to make that change.

.. because everywhere medicines are pharmacists must be.

Multifactorial approach requires a #multidisciplinaryteam .

Diabetes- it's not just about their glycaemic control it's: Weight. Cardiovascular risk. CKD.

#GPPharmacists can contribute to Heart Health Checks and they should be done for all pts with diabetes PSA #CPC24

Lots of focus over the past 2 days on deprescribing. Environment. Pt preference. Cost. Harm.

'Mindlessly prescribing is just polluting the planet'- Dr. Nicole Sleeman.

All pharmacists have a focus on #deprescribing from a clinical perspective but I'm reminded today that unnecessary and unwanted medicines have a significant carbon footprint!

Like a 'sick day' action plans for those pts with diabetes, pharmacists working in areas of extreme heat should consider preparing a 'heat day action plan' for patients at risk of heat related illness- spoiler, we're all at risk!

There are very few who can walk the fine line between educator and friend like Mike.

When I think back on my uni experience at #LTUB , Mike is ever present in those memories.

An exceptional educator, communicator and just all round great guy.

Cheers to you, Prof. Angove 🦅
