Kidney disease progresses silently. People at high risk are diabetics, people with high blood pressure and close relatives of people with hereditary kidney disease.

For The Toll-free phone line announced A new toll-free telephone information line will be established to assist seniors across B.C. with questions regarding medication use, Health Minister Paul Ram- sey has announced. The British Columbia Seniors Medication Informa- tion Line (B.C. SMILE) is a joint effort of the Ministry of Health, the B.C. Drug and Poison Information Centre, the pharmaceutical industry, the Science Council of British Columbia and the University of British Columbia faculty of phar- maceutical sciences. “This project is an exam- ple of government, health care agencies, post-sec- ondary institutions and the private sector working together to improve the quality of life for seniors in B.C.,” Ramsey said. The information line will operate from the pharma- ceutical sciences faculty at UBC Seniors, their caregivers and family members can call the line with any drug-relat- ed questions, including adverse reactions, drug and good interactions, and the misuse of medications. Inquiries will be answered by a pharmacist working in conjunction with the drug and poison infor- mation centre. “B.C. SMILE will enable undergraduate students in the health care disciplines to develop important commu- nication and research skills, and to become better aware of the needs of seniors;” said John McNeill, dean of UBC’s faculty of pharma- ceutical sciences. The project is expected to begin in April of this year and will cost approximately $315,000 over three years. Funding will be provided by government, the pharma- ceutical industry and other institutions. To date, 31 pharmaceuti- cal manufacturers have pledged a total of $279,000.
