national health authorities and several laws govern this notion since the beginning of the 2000s. In our hospital, 34 patient education programmes exist but only five integrate a pharmacist into their team. Purpose The main objective of this qualitative research is to understand why pharmacists are so few in patient education teams by studying the perception of other health professionals on the work of pharmacists. Then, we could propose several solutions to make easier the integration of pharmacists into these multidisciplinary healthcare teams. Material and methods Semi-structured interviews were planned with the healthcare professionals involved in the educational teams where there are no pharmacists. After a word-by-word anonymous transcription, verbatims were coded in the software Nvivo 12 (QSR International; Melbourne, Australia) by two pharmacists trained in qualitative research in order to minimise the subjectivity of this work. Results Fourteen healthcare professionals had been interviewed: six nurses (among whom three executive nurses), four physicians, two psychologists, one dentist and one clinical research associate. These persons represented 11 of the 34 educational programmes. The results showed that the pharmacist was not considered as a part of the healthcare team. Moreover, the pharmacy profession was not well known by others healthcare professionals, which was why patient education was not known as a pharmaceutical mission. The added-value of the pharmacist was contentious (pharmaceutical expertise was recognized but pharmacists had a lack of knowledge of the reallife experience of the disease according to the interviewed). Respondents also mentioned organisational factors such as lack of time and funds. Conclusion All these elements of the response could be used in the aim to make it easier for pharmacists' integration into the educational teams and enhance their multidisciplinary nature. This work allowed reflection with the educational teams, which is essential to the integration. In the team interviewed, there is still no clinical pharmacist and we hope that development of clinical pharmacy could change these representations. Furthermore, it would be interesting to compare our results with the perceptions of European or international health professionals on the role of pharmacists in educational teams.

Dans notre pays, le recours aux recettes de médecine traditionnelle et aux produits cosmétiques artisanaux est très fréquent en raison du taux élevé d'analphabétisme, du faible pouvoir d'achat et du grand nombre d'herboristes. Le camphre est un produit peu coûteux, facilement accessible et omniprésent dans presque toutes les maisons, le rendant potentiellement toxique en cas de mauvaise utilisation, en particulier chez les enfants. Nous rapportons ici l'histoire de 2 cas d'intoxication consécutifs à une recette de beauté à base de camphre en poudre. L'anamnèse donne des informations sur un empoisonnement par une poudre synthétique à base de camphre importé de Chine chez 2 enfants. Patiente 1: fille âgée de 2 mois, sans antécédents, admise aux urgences pédiatriques dans un état de pleurs incessants avec refus de manger. L'examen clinique est sans caractéristique particulière. Le test biologique standard était normal. Le nourrisson était sous surveillance neurologique, digestive et cutanée. Patiente 2: jeune fille de 6 ans admise à la suite d'une crise atonique avec syncope et mousse, suivie d'une douleur abdominale accompagnée d'une douleur abdominale accompagnée de vomissements alimentaires consécutifs à l'ingestion de lait. L'évolution était favorable après 48 heures de prise en charge symptomatique. L'entretien avec les mères a révélé qu'il s'agissait de deux voisins qui avaient reçu une recette traditionnelle pour le soin des cheveux d'un troisième voisin, après quoi ils avaient mélangé du camphre en poudre avec de l'huile d'olive, puis l'avaient appliquée pendant 1 heure sur les cheveux de leurs enfants, provoquant ainsi l'apparition de ces signes.
