PHARMACY TEAM, NEW CRAIGS HOSPITAL,


INVERNESS Te pharmacy team from New Craigs hospital is a very cohesive team with a common objective - to support the delivery of optimum pharmaceutical care to patients with mental health conditions across North Highland, regardless of whether they are in-patients or living in the community. Te team implemented a twelve-month pilot in two general practices in remote and rural Scotland, with patients with a diagnosis of depression and/or anxiety referred by general practitioners to specialist mental health pharmacist independent prescribers from the team for review and any necessary follow-up to ensure safe and effective use of medication. Whilst accepting study limitations, the initiative proved that there was potential to translate the pilot model of care to sustained services throughout general practice.


THE CARE AT HOME PHARMACY TECHNICIAN


SERVICE, EAST AND SOUTH AYSHIRE Te Care at Home Pharmacy (CAP) Technician Service in East and South Ayrshire is an excellent example of partnership working to deliver the best level of patient centred care across transitions. Te pharmacy technician works with elderly and/or vulnerable residents within the Health & Social Care Partnership (HSCP) area, who have been identified by a health or social care professional as requiring help with a medication related problem. Te CAP technician visits patients in their own homes to review concordance and compliance with medicines, with onward referral to other services where required. Te service initially focussed on elderly people discharged from hospital with a care package, but now receives referrals from the multidisciplinary team involved in adult care, including social workers and district nurses.
