Michelle and I are heartbroken to hear about the passing of our friend Charles Ogletree. He was an advocate for social justice, an incredible professor, and a mentor to many – including us. Our thoughts are with his wife Pamela, his entire family, and everyone who knew and loved this remarkable man.
Out of the mouths of babes...sometimes you have to go through difficult things so you can inspire others. Teenager dying from bowel failure. #SAPC2023
Well done Bennin. Putting their money where their mouth is. Presented the budgets that have been allocated to Palliative Care and photos of the buildings that they are building for palliative care. #APCA
Yes this is so sad...no morphine in Mozambique...
No #morphine #Mozambique @APCAssociation Conference report! Most of the time no painkillers at main hospital, even though services exist. much support needed for local production! Buying expensive preparations from #Brazil

Opening of #APCA hybrid conference...Dr Tedros from WHO. Can't wait to see Meering of African Ministers of Health. The time is long overdue...hopefully the pandemic taught is some important lessons!

Not any more...but in countries with no morphine, codeine is better than nothing!! xitter.cf/sasocp/status/10120281…
Question 5. Do you still use codeine in children? Is there a place for it? #clinpharm Hint : Fast / slow metabolisers CYP26D
I know they recommend 2 step...but Tilidine (Valoron) very useful in SA and it's a weak opioid by definition (has ceiling effect) xitter.cf/JoanPalchase/status/10…
#clinpharm PRN = Patient Receives Nothing xitter.cf/DeirdreEngler/status/1…
Pain management should not be “prn”; check correct dose and dosing interval; know the metabolism esp for opioids xitter.cf/sasocp/status/10120244…
