OnlineAbout the event
In this webinar, Lelly Oboh and Nina Barnett described what structured medication reviews (SMRs) and clinical reviews mean in care homes. They outlined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on how these might be undertaken, and discussed how remote consultations and clinical prioritisation can be used to provide optimal care for residents.
Why it’s important
It’s vital to ensure medication is working well for individuals while minimising the risks of medication-related harm and waste. Ideally this would be as part of a face-to-face SMR, however the current pandemic has resulted in a shift to more remote methods of communication.
