Some interesting happenings at Unity that I forgot to blog about
Zuellig Pharma Trip
I am fortunate to have the chance to visit a pharmaceutical distributor company called Zuellig Pharma. Though the company do not make the medicine from scratch, the humongous number of types of pharmaceutical products of different shape and sizes definitely requires a certain system to store them. The warehouse was SOOO large and there were conveyer belts here and there to transport products from their respective shelves to the collection point. It's rather complicated and sadly, no photos allowed. :( But oh well, at least now I know how a Purchase Order (PO) is being processed and translated into the arrival of the product into our pharmacy. And we got goodie bags too!!
The Proper Way to Dispose Medicine
Once you received this bag of expired or used medications from the customer, thou shall 1) open the bag 2) Empty all solid medicines into this bag
3) Empty the liquid medicine into the bag... And here's what you get!!!! ( and because of this i get to see what is the color of the bottle of Nurofen.. It's orange!) Outing with the following old ppl last sunday (14/6) Unity Fun Outing (UFO)
It was a night of fun and laughter with both the preceptors and preceptees of the Unity Pharmacies!! Yes, it took place at a McDonalds at Toa Payoh. If you minus the kiddy element of the venue, it was a good place for gathering! We had loads of fun playing Zoom-in and Charades/taboo, all done in Pharmacy style, i.e. try acting Regaine 5% using just gestures but no talking.
And... my embarassing moment came when they found out that it was my birthday the day before... and I couldn't run away from that kiddy mcD hat!!!
Yups... that's about it.
