[Pharmwaste] PSI Pharmaceutical Dialogue!

[Susan Frechette]

Hi Michelle,

 

I have seen your inquiries to the pharmaceutical list serve, and want to
alert you to two national dialogues being sponsored by the Product
Stewardship Institute of Boston, MA relative to the issue of
unused/waste household pharmaceuticals and medical sharps.  I would
encourage you to consider participating by signing up to be on our
mailing list.  They are: 

 

Pharmaceuticals

 

 

PSI has begun an effort on pharmaceuticals disposal management and has
conducted over 30 stakeholder interviews and developed a Project
Prospectus and a  Project Summary. A draft Product Stewardship Action
Plan for Unwanted/Waste Pharmaceuticals is also being developed. We are
planning a first National Dialogue meeting in Sacramento, California in
mid-June in partnership with the California Integrated Waste Management
Board.

This project is being managed by Susan Frechette, PSI Senior Associate
for Policy and Programs.  If you are interested in more information,
please contact Susan at susan at productstewardship.us or 617-236-4866.

 

If you want to participate, let Susan know the level of involvement you
would like to have (please provide full contact information):

___ General updates

___ General updates + information on dialogue meetings

 

 

Medical Sharps

 

 

PSI is currently conducting background research, including interviews
with representatives from the medical sharps industry, government
agencies, and other key stakeholders. A Project Summary has been
developed that will be updated as new information is obtained. The
research and interviews will then be used to develop a Product
Stewardship Action Plan for Medical Sharps, which will serve as the
basis for four face-to-face meetings with key stakeholders. The first
meeting will be held in Boston in April or May. The Action Plan will
include an issue statement, dialogue goals, key issues, and potential
solutions. As part of this project, PSI will identify areas in which the
sharps disposal issue overlaps with the broader pharmaceutical disposal
issue.

This project is being managed by Susan Frechette, PSI Senior Associate
for Policy and Programs.  If you are interested in more information,
please contact Susan at susan at productstewardship.us or 617-236-4866.
