title: New moms and self medication.
abstract: "Is there any reason why healthy women should not have access to simple pain medication when they require it?" This is the question pharmacists at the Salvation Army Grace Hospital in Ottawa were asked in addressing the needs of new mothers. And, while post-partum self-medication programs have existed for over a decade in Canada, the Grace has developed and implemented a comprehensive, patient-focused, multidisciplinary system with an innovative and user-friendly approach that benefits patients and staff.
