Spring feelSpring feelSpring feelSpring feel
It’s the change of the season, the nights are short
and there is something in the air, other than pollens,
allergex is flying out of the counter, the semester is
pretty much short. This semester is packed and
pharmaceutical chemistry sounds like accounting
and pharmacology is not too shy for a receptor.
Caffeine and insomnia in the same sentence for
pharmacy student is not a contra-indication unless a
bash, report and a laundry is a no time management
issue to you. This season (in a white coat) promises
to be full of sunny prospects and enriches within self
the true representation of a growing profession like
pharmacy.
Go out there and enjoy yourself, while you are at it
just don’t relax the rules, sandals and short pants
still don’t make it to the laboratory.
Currency in pharmacy is not about the fancy instant
reward or the ability to be in urgency, but it is that
one moment amongst many when a patient looks
you in the eye with confidence and you satisfy them
regardless of how sore your feet are.

ULAPS and pharmacists on the move
towards quality care- together
Pharmacy students are interacting with the
villagers from Mamotintane, advising them
about rational drug use, as well as answering
any questions about medications.
ULAPS joined Polokwane hospital in a march
around the hospital. This was a great
experience, a chance to also interact with
future colleagues.
TUTULAPS expresses how they worked
together towards quality care.
With all the visits the aim was to provide our
surrounding community on the correct use of
medication, the importance of our existence as
future pharmacists and the importance of the
engagement with other health care professionals
in working to the quality of health of our people.
Though we experienced some challenges here
and there, in general it was all a success. Says
Prudence TUTULAPS PRO
Pharmacy Day
On Friday the 02nd
of September 2011 TUTLAPS
held their annual Pharmacy Day. A day made
special to celebrate the profession we are
working towards. We then had a SAAHIP
competition, were students were given case
studies to analyze and to give their comments on.
Car Show
When all was done we had a car show from Mercedes
Benz and Audi. Quite an inspiration for our pharmacist
in future to think of when studying, we all want to get
there ultimately
“We moordmoordmoordmoord the pharmacy open day”
says Sipho and Bongani using their own word (in bold)
to emphasize the success of the event.
Congratulations are in order to all health professionals
who made an effort make pharmacy week a success
and lets all work together towards quality care, 86400
