Innovations in care home pharmacy practice What does current research literature tell us?

We are delighted to invite you to the next in our series of NPCHF webinars!

Key learning points:

• Pharmaceutical care within care homes continues to require enhancement with many well-known historical problems still unresolved
• Pharmacy research in care homes continues to be largely descriptive, based on service evaluations or inadequately considered randomised controlled trials
• The care home pharmacy profession may benefit from focusing more on understanding the problems which exist and why they exist before developing interventions to resolve them

Heather Smith, Consultant Pharmacist: Older People, West Yorkshire ICB
