The current pressures on the NHS urgent and emergency care system are unprecedented. Urgent or unplanned care leads to at least 100 million NHS calls or visits each year, representing about one third of overall NHS activity and more than half the costs. Approximately one quarter of accident and emergency attendances could have been treated elsewhere.
NHS England is implementing the recommendations of the Keogh Urgent and Emergency Care Review and it is important that pharmacy professionals engage proactively in the development of new urgent and emergency care systems. For those working in community pharmacy, NHS England is developing a national pharmacy urgent care programme linking services to NHS 111 to support people to get the right care in the right place, first time.
Pharmacy teams in all sectors have potential to support the urgent care agenda by raising awareness of existing services, extending those services and being confident about when and where to refer people whose needs are more complex.
Our learning programmes aim to help you understand your role in urgent care and recognise the opportunities to provide effective support for people presenting with urgent care needs.
This workshop is for pharmacy professionals who are new to, or are considering providing medicines optimisation for residents in care homes for older people.
It is an interactive learning session using innovative practical activities, including a film and observation exercise, to build participants’ skills and confidence in changing how medicines are used in this setting.
