An ongoing discussion topic at the conference was the 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐮𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬 and 𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 making it more crucial than ever for pharmacies to diversify revenue streams by offering clinical services. However, a key barrier remaining is 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Many pharmacies want to expand into clinical services but struggle with administrative burden. That’s where MedMe comes in! Our platform streamlines clinical documentation, making it easier for pharmacies to grow without added paperwork and stress. Our team had the pleasure of hosting a dinner with industry peers—reconnecting with familiar faces and building new connections. Huge thanks to Alicia Matthews-Kent and the Neighbourly Pharmacy team for joining us for this event. We greatly appreciate their insights as MedMe users, and it's always a pleasure to connect with our valued partners in person. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲?💡💬

Cervical cancer is largely preventable, with vaccines like the HPV vaccine playing a vital role.

Pharmacists are at the forefront of this effort, offering education, vaccine administration, and guidance on cervical cancer prevention. At MedMe, pharmacists actively contribute to cervical health by offering HPV vaccinations and counselling on the importance of regular check-ups where available. Regional regulations allow pharmacists to prescribe and administer vaccines in provinces like PEI and Saskatchewan, increasing accessibility for patients. With streamlined booking systems and tailored appointments, MedMe helps patients take proactive steps toward reducing their cancer risk. Book an appointment with your pharmacist today to discuss cervical cancer prevention and the HPV vaccine. By taking charge of your health now, you can significantly lower your risk and contribute to a future free from cervical cancer! #cervicalhealth #cervicalhealthawarenessmonth #pharmacy #hpv #cervicalcancer
