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.
The writing team is based at Bernice Samuel Hospital, a district hospital in Delmas, Mpumalanga. The team includes four Pharmacists and one Environmental Health Practitioner who share one goal: to highlight the impact healthcare professionals make in public institutions every day.


While the core team forms the foundation, other healthcare professionals are regularly invited to contributions. The team would like to include diverse voices on important matters affecting public health work & the communities they serve.
