The Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is most recently linked to social media but I believe it can be applied to a wider spectrum in an effort to support pharmacy leaders in their everyday lives. FOMO is an anxiety that an exciting event is occurring without us, flushing our brains with a depressed mood.

Here I will cover the Notices section, the Option to Renew, and the Relocation clause. Generally, once both parties have entered into a Banner Agreement and Lease, the next time those documents ever get pulled out of the filing cabinet are at term renewal, at time of sale, or when something has broken down in the relationship between the parties.

The agreement will affect 1,900 healthcare workers, including pharmacists who work for regional health authorities.

The OCP board voted on whether Sivapalan was in conflict with what was discussed at the meeting, as a conflict of interest investigation is still ongoing.

Will the proposed capital gains changes require you to take action?

Over the past two years, I have journaled about the anecdotes and lessons from over a decade of managing small and larger pharmacy teams, across corporate and independent models, both from retail and long-term-care. Across the multitude of journal entries, 7 key characteristics (which I call dimensions) show up recurrently. Enunciating them with very specific adjectives and placing them in an acronym allowed me to understand what to strive for in showing up for my patients, team and business.

Like the banner agreement, the lease is a complex legal document, and generally never balanced in the way it is drafted. It always reads very much in favour of the landlord. When I review a lease, I think of it the same way as when I read an insurance policy. There is nothing drier on the face of the earth, but you need to understand it because the next time you pull it out to refer to it, it is because something really important is going on in your world.

Whenever we face hardship and challenge, know that what comes along with it is an invitation to become better – to become more. From a pharmacist’s perspective, I can say honestly that the world needs more from us. The world needs us to continue to grow and improve and expand our skills.
