                                            National Doctors' Day 

         National Doctors' Day  Celebrated on July 1 all across India to honour the legendary physician and the second Chief Minister of West Bengal, Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy. He was born on July 1, 1882 and died on the same date in 1962, aged 80 years. Dr Roy was honoured with the country's highest civilian award, Bharat Ratna on February 4, 1961.

               Every year this holiday is celebrated in India on the 1st of July. This observance fulfills a need to show the doctors and physicians in our lives how important they are to us and how invaluable their treatments are that cure us. The celebrations are indicative of the respect that they command in the lives of their patients and thus obligate them to fulfill their responsibilities as well.

            There are several ways that this day is observed, including the greeting of physicians by their patients with greeting cards, flower arrangements. Special meeting are often convened to commemorate the day and honor doctors for their performances. Commemorative dinners can also be arranged by hospitals or other organizations to felicitate the medical fraternity.

          There may be several reasons that can be attributed to the significance of a this honor being celebrated in India.

         The large population of India depends on the efficiency and responsibility of physicians to a large extent at all times Medical professionals in India over the years have shown remarkable improvements and made definite progress in medical treatments that need to be acknowledged· It may also be seen as an encouragement and an eye opener to all such doctors who have been struck by a failing career owing to a lack of commitment There have been instances of public violence and protests against doctors when they have failed to perform. This holiday could be seen as an approach by the same people as a mark of respect for all those doctors who have relentlessly made efforts to sustain the life of their patients against all odds.

Role of Hospital Pharmacist

Hospital pharmacist: 

    Hospital pharmacists work in a hospital pharmacy service, primarily within the public sector. They are experts in the field of medicines and are not only responsible for the dispensing of prescriptions but also the purchase, manufacture and quality testing of all medicines used in a hospital. Many hospital pharmacists are qualified to prescribe in their own right.

Pharmacists work closely with medical and nursing staff to ensure that patients receive the best treatment, advising on the selection, dose and administration route. They also provide help and advice to patients in all aspects of their medicines.

The role of a hospital pharmacist can extend outside the hospital with responsibility for medicines in health centres, nursing homes, hospices and general practitioners' (GP) surgeries.

Typical work activities

Hospital pharmacists are medicine experts and tasks may include:

·         checking prescriptions to ensure that there are no errors and that they are appropriate and safe for the individual patient;

·         providing advice on the dosage of medicines and the most appropriate form of medication, for example, tablet, injection, ointment or inhaler;

·         participating in ward rounds, taking patient drug histories and involvement in decision-making on appropriate treatments;

·         liaising with other medical staff on problems patients may experience when taking their medicines;

·         discussing treatments with patients' relatives, community pharmacists and GPs;

·         ensuring medicines are stored appropriately and securely;

·         supervising the work of less experienced and less qualified staff;

·         answering questions about medicines from within the hospital, other hospitals and the general public;

·         keeping up to date with, and contributing to, research and development;

·         writing guidelines for drug use within the hospital and implementing hospital regulations;

·         providing information on expenditure on drugs;

·         preparing and quality-checking sterile medications, for example, intravenous medications;

·         setting up and supervising clinical trials.

More experienced pharmacists may be involved in teaching, both within the pharmacy department and in other areas of the hospital.

So prepare all the stock position data to be entered/ which you want to modify at your hospital level and ready for entering into online from today. Each and every hospital need to update the date within these 2 days only.

This is final opportunity given to all to update their data in e-Aushadhi application and to ensure all transactions from 26.06.2015 in online only.

Note : All hospital transaction details will be thoroughly verified by the IT Cell and informed to concerned  HODs and Special Chief Secretary/Principal Secretary.
