Innovation & Change in Pharmacy Practice
BANNSIDE PHARMACY Portglenone
With the belief that community pharmacy teams need to also look beyond medicines to improve the quality of life of all their patient, especially those with Long Term Conditions, Bannside Pharmacy recently took part in a unique programme to provide a free 12-week Wellbeing and Weight Loss Programme for 100 participants in conjunction with the University of Ulster, Coleraine School of Pharmacy entitled Portglenone Gets Healthy! (PGH) from September - December 2014. Feedback from the anonymous evaluation forms showed very high level of participant satisfaction with community pharmacy as a host for this type of wellbeing and weight loss programme with 97% of 68 respondents saying that they would join a programme like PGH again through community pharmacy.
THE HEALTH CENTRE PHARMACY Carrickfergus
The Health Centre Pharmacy in Carrickfergus was faced with the task of amending present workflows and practices to accommodate these new services such as; Medication Use Reviews, flu vaccinations, travel vaccinations, delivering care outside of the pharmacy (attending community groups and domiciliary medication reviews) and demonstrating its presence as a beacon of care within the local area via Health + pharmacy accreditation. Their innovation shows how they, as a community pharmacy, had to strategically plan and implement a unique business model to allow the delivery of new services whilst ensuring existing prescription dispensing services remained unaffected and continue to be carried out at an outstanding level.
MCKENZIE’S PHARMACY Belfast
Automation has changed the way medicines are dispensed within McKenzie’s Pharmacy and this has been a significant innovation in a number of key ways. The most important of these has been an improvement in patient safety. This project has freed up a significant amount of pharmacist time which has enabled them to spend more time interacting with patients in a more clinically focused role. The team have shown a combination of novel ideas that both individually and together contributed to a significant improvement in the pharmacy business.
