Medicine wastage costs NHS around £300,000000 annually.
I regularly declutter PTS homes of so much unused drugs. Often on repeats which are never taken.
Older people with frailty are particuarly vulnerable when care is provided in inappropriate settings. See this powerful piece from @ClaireVBostock on corridor care: https://t.co/t4lq8rxLH1
Collaboration between acute frailty and us at #UrgentCommunityResponse in Brighton and Hove to reduce inhosp stays.
Looking to see where biggest impact might be. Looking for any projects where pts earmarked for IPR where rehabed at home. Any outcome data welcome.
Intensive home visits by multidisciplinary primary care teams are evidence-based for the care of older people living with frailty and chronic conditions #sessionsgercron territorials dels divendres @hgermanstrias @BSABadalona @primariaicscat
