In our learning and networking event for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians working with older people we provided a forum for practitioners to keep abreast of topical issues in the care of older people as well as to further develop the skills and confidence to deliver patient-centred care and optimise medicines use.
The theme for this webinar was implementing the National Overprescribing Review (NOR) report.
Why it’s important
ICS are tasked with reducing overprescribing by 10% (number of prescribed items).
Older people have a higher prevalence of overprescribing and are more vulnerable to its adverse consequences.
Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, particularly in primary care, are expected to enable and contribute to the delivery of the NOR plan through Structured Medication Reviews (SMRs).
What was covered/what you’ll learn
- Outline the key findings of the NOR report and how pharmacy teams can contribute to implementation of relevant recommendations.
- Describe and apply the DExTruS approach to tackling over prescribing in patients with complexities in primary care:
- Data: the provision of continuous, comprehensive access to data from across multidisciplinary teams which includes the CONTEXTUAL data needed to support tailored interpretations.
- Explanation: professional capacity to construct tailored interpretations of need and the value of medicalisation
- Trust: recognised as both a mechanism of, and outcome. of quality generalist care, our findings showed that trust is created by a capacity to LEARN – a model of practice built on an informed process of ‘trial and review’.
- Supportive infrastructure: with health systems designed to support the complex knowledge work involved in construction, delivery and learning from tailored care.
- Describe practical processes that need setting up in their local practice to facilitate delivery of SMRs.
- Learn about system wide approaches and interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary collaboration to reduce overprescribing.
