The Side Effect - is a pharmacist-driven newsletter offering authentic perspectives & real world experiences from professionals across the public sector. We bridge the gap between theory and practice, sharing dedicated insights to inform & connect all healthcare professionals in the public institution, as well as showcase the vital role pharmacists play in these institutions.
At Bernice Samuel Hospital in Delmas, Mpumalanga, a dedicated team of professionals is committed to transforming the lives of their patients and the local community. Comprising six pharmacists and one environmental health practitioner, this group aims to emphasize the profound impact that healthcare professionals have within public institutions.


While the core team lays the groundwork, other healthcare professionals are often invited to contribute. The team aims to bring diverse perspectives to important issues affecting public health work and the communities they serve.
