It’s #BeMedicinewiseWeek and our Intern Pharmacist Mackenzie is helping #Redcliffe Hospital patients to ‘get to know the language of medicines’: Ask questions if there's anything you don’t understand about medication.
My question is: Why is medication always the focus of psychiatric discussions in Mental Health? I give credit where it's due; and this morning Mental Health in Queensland (on Facebook) shared an excellent story about the circumstances (such as friendlessness, unemployment, lack of housing, lack of money) relating to the suicides of Mental Health clients in Australia. If you are continuing to post topics which deserve less of our attention, the only thing that I can do as one of your involuntary clients is to post comments that try to shift that focus to the things that really matter. Thank you.
Great 👍🏻..... 💊

Volunteers are important, and that's why I've been one for a long time too. Thank you. I also think that the name "People Focus" is a great one. Would love to be a client (even an involuntary client) under some of these people who are working because they genuinely care...not because they're rich bastards 🙂
Couldn't do without them!
