International Volunteer Day

Our pharmacy services

International Volunteer Day (IVD) is mandated by the UN General Assembly and is held each year on 5 December. It is a day for volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations to celebrate their efforts and to showcase the difference they make in their communities. Events are held to honour and acknowledge the outstanding work and contribution of volunteers to change the world for a better future.

On International Volunteer Day join us in acknowledging and enhancing people’s participation, engagement and voice, in shaping our nation and the world we want through the spirit of volunteerism.

Shingles

Shingles

Health & Wellness

Shingles is a viral infection caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox (varicella-zoster virus). Shingles can only develop in a person who has already had chickenpox (varicella). After an episode of chickenpox, the virus does not completely clear, and some particles lie dormant in nerve roots near the spinal cord. They cause no harm, or signs and symptoms, but can re-activate later to cause shingles (herpes zoster).

1535_ShinglesThe majority of the Australian population is at risk of developing shingles, as over 97% of Australian adults over 30 years of age are exposed to the chickenpox virus. Approximately 150,000 new cases of shingles occur every year in the general population in Australia. It is estimated that by the age of 85 years, about half of people will develop shingles.

Peter Waterman, Communications Specialist, The Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Canberra

The ability to self-manage COPD is an integral step in slowing the progress of the disease and in helping patients to enjoy a better lifestyle. It is believed that many COPD patients would benefit from the early intervention that comes from following self-management plans, and this in turn may help to prevent a future crisis, including the possible need for hospital admission. However, being able to actively engage in self-management often takes coaching and expert advice and it is here the community pharmacy can offer services and advice to help COPD patients.  Read More >
