The "scavenger hunt" is a game in which the organizers prepare a list defining specific items. Then, the participants seek to gather all the items on the list and take photographs of the items, as specified.
For fun and learning purposes throughout the course, we will be hunting a list of items as described below. You need to find these items in your own settings, searching and finding others’ photographs on the web is not acceptable.
We want each of you to find as many items as possible and post your hunt (the photograph and the story behind it) to this blog. You do not need to wait until you compile all of them, post your hunt as you find one and then the other. Increase your powers of observation on items related cold chain and good storage & distribution practices.
- A non-pharma example of measuring temperature
- An example of good warehouse-keeping
- An example of heat transfer (challenge - can you make a photograph with all different forms of heat transfer in one frame?)
- An example of a good temperature monitoring device in action
- A refrigerated truck used outside the pharmaceutical cold chain
- A temperature sensitive product being administered to a child/person
- Primary or intermediate vaccine storage facility showing vaccines in storage
- Dispatch of temperature sensitive products from a storage facility
- Refrigerator with vaccines organized
- A health worker in immunization outreach
- A local temperature recording form
- Temperature monitoring devices in a refrigerator (need to see at least two different types of temperature monitoring device including VVM)
- Time and temperature sensitive pharmaceutical product handled in a retail pharmacy
- Risks associated with transport and/or control measures introduced to detect/prevent and/or mitigate a risk
- A temperature violation
- Acquire a readily available consumer product that can also be used as a temperature detection device to determine if the contents of a package were exposed to temperatures above 30°C.
