12:35: Santa’s not the fattest person in the mall anymore! Approximately 68 percent of Canadians are above their ideal weight. This is the time of year for giving, but not to give in, or to give up! Instead of chip and dip, take the veggies! Instead of eggnog and rum, go for the heart-healthy glass of red wine. Leave the cookies for Santa!

12:45: DayNight Pharmacy time.
Guest: Hilton
Hilton talked about technology and the impact on pharmacy.
Primary care demands a continuous flow of current pharmaceutical information to the front lines of patient services. With a wide spectrum of drugs to prescribe and a continuous product of new drug-related information, the practicing physician is faced with a social and professional mandate to deliver the most acceptable drug in a safe and efficacious manner. Specific knowledge and skills by pharmacists are in an era of advancing health-care technology. Implementation of new technology in health care will be affected by cost consideration and by social trends such as shifting population demographics, an increase in diseases of lifestyle, consumerism and self-care. Technologic advances are been seen in computerized information networks, bioelectronics, biotechnology, computer graphics, diagnostic imaging and drug development in space and in the oceans. Diseases are noted in which diagnosis and treatment using new technology is promising. The roles of interferon and monoclonal antibodies and trends in development of new drugs and drug delivery systems are closy being studied. Practitioners are looking for assistance to implement philosophical technologically oriented pharmacies are we grow into the next decades.
Discussed pen computing and I-Pen and perhaps its exciting possibilities for pharmacy.
