The public have been showing amazing support for us at Kettering General Hospital through their kind gestures and donations. Therefore, we here at KGH want to say thank you, stay safe and stay at home! #carersclapback 👏#NHS
This is mainly due to the brilliance & tenaciousness of our homecare pharmacist @AnushaPatelAP.
Also thank you to @achilton99 for his assistance, to Michelle & Cathy - our IBD Nurses, Katie and Angela - admin team for the logistics. And finally - our wonderful patients.
2/2 This regular working on wards is comforting to patients as they become more familiar with Nirali when she visits them.
“Patients and their families have an additional confidence in the team when they see us all working together”.

1/2 As part of her role Nirali visits the Coronary Care Unit (CCU).
“I enjoy visiting the CCU. It’s like a family. The staff tell you about how patients are doing and how the team are getting on. It’s a great working environment”

For week 5 of our summer series ‘What does Medicine 2020 mean to you?’, we asked Dr Ajay Verma, consultant gastroenterologist and physician @KettGeneral, why he feels our annual conference creates change. https://t.co/kAlPBVNjx0 Get 30% off Medicine 2020 now! @UKGastroDr
Anusha attends a regular multi-disciplinary team meeting. This is attended by the Consultant Rheumatologists and Specialist nurses and is to discuss treatment options.
“The MDT members asked us to attend the meeting. They appreciate the input the Pharmacy Team have” says Anusha.
The prescriptions are completed in clinic at KGH and the patient can return home.
This is convenient and efficient for the patient as it saves them any waiting times and any car parking charges.
It's supported by 24 hr helplines by homecare providers.
