This is a misrepresentation of the study. As a pharmacist I am a proud part of this research team with Prof Danielle Mazza PSA. The study builds on existing pharmacist responsibilities when supplying medicines and will empower women regarding future contraceptive choices

Well said. The problem is that while it is a professional responsibility, many pharmacists don't feel adequately trained or supported to provide such essential services. Better education of pharmacists will lead to better reproductive health care.

Proud to stand with you on this Prof Danielle Mazza Important note: In the context of a pharmacist’s practice, ‘counselling’ refers to the provision of medicines information and other advice to suit the needs and enquiries of the patient SPHERE

Remember when AMA Media opposed women accessing emergency contraception from #pharmacists? At the time they said “Women deserve better than this”. I agree, women deserve better than a turf war being more important than breaking down contraception barriers #WaybackWednesday

Our cross-sectional survey of 1800+ Australian #breastfeeding women shows that 60% used one or more galactagogues to try and boost milk production. We need to know why this is happening. First PhD publication for Grace McBride Robinson Research Institute SAHMRI dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Recent advice on pregnancy and paracetamol urges caution - but the practical advice is largely unchanged. Read our take on this here: theconversation.com/take-care-with… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand SAHMRI Flinders University

Honoured to be joining such a highly esteemed group as an Associate Editor for #IntBreastfeedJ. Looking forward to promoting high quality #breastfeeding research, particularly in relation to medicines and lactation

Excited to have received an NHMRC Ideas Grant to drive improvements in maternal #asthma management and offspring health. Thanks to my superstar team Prof Michael J Davies, Jessika Hu Emma Knight and Jenni Ilomaki from SAHMRI Robinson Research Institute Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) Monash Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences

Our finding of an increased risk of abrupt #breastfeeding discontinuation among those starting #antidepressants postpartum is a concern. In most cases antidepressants can be used safely during breastfeeding. Additional support is critical Centre of Perinatal Excellence @FlindersHmri The Hospital Research Foundation Group

Our latest study shows that lactational #mastitis is a common risk factor for early #breastfeeding cessation and poorer maternal mental health. Critical need for better prevention and treatment strategies @FlindersHmri Dr Wendy Ingman Lisa Amir onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

Despite lacking efficacy/safety data, we found very high levels of awareness of #galactagogues during #breastfeeding, with the most common information source being the internet - 2nd PhD paper for Grace McBride & help from ABA Lisa Amir journals.sagepub.com/doi/metrics/10…

We found that just 1 in 4 Australian women are provided hormonal contraception after medical abortion & that improving use could prevent more than 2,000 repeat medical abortions each year MJA FlindersHMRI SPHERE Robinson Research Institute Monash Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences mja.com.au/journal/2022/2…

4 am wake up to discuss all things #domperidone & #lactation as part of this International seminar on skills and tools for improving low milk production. Thank you to GOLD Lactation and Fiona Lang-Sharpe for the invitation to present @FlindersHmri SAHMRI

We show that oral #Immunotherapy using boiled peanuts appears a safe and effective treatment for #peanutallergy in children. Potential life-changing research made possible by funding from Channel 7 Children's Research Foundation crf.org.au . onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ce…

Our latest study shows significant increase in dispensing of psychotropic medications to Australian children and adolescents during COVID-19 pandemic, disproportionately impacting adolescent girls MJA FlindersHMRI Monash Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences mja.com.au/journal/2023/2…

Today Anthony Albanese spoke of our moral obligation to those impacted by the #thalidomide tragedy. As a lasting legacy, lets not forget our ongoing moral obligation to ensure pregnant people are afforded access to safe, modern medicines that the rest of the population currently enjoys

Latest SPHERE research shows that ulipristal acetate is only stocked in 70% of Australian community pharmacies, despite being first-line oral emergency contraceptive - more work needed to address treatment barriers contraceptionjournal.org/article/S0010-… Flinders University PSA @the_shpa
