Innovation and Integration TheatreBSW has a clear vision to use community pharmacists as the entrance point to the NHS but we also recognise that this will not be possible without a reliable, adequately trained and supported community pharmacy workforce. Our out of hours provider has a desire to work more closely with community pharmacists to refer appropriate calls to and are willing to offer the safety netting that they require in order to provide that service. HEE Treach and Treat funding allowed us to move this vision forward by providing funding for the out of hours provider to develop a community pharmacy tailored training programme which is delivered by advanced clinical practitioners who act as designated prescribing practitioners. We would like to share our learning from setting up this model - so come and find out more!

Innovation and Integration TheatreJoin us for an insightful session where we'll make a compelling case for integrating pharmacy-led care to support safe, effective prescribing of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Through real-life project outcomes and engaging case studies, we'll delve into the common challenges that hinder appropriate DOAC prescribing. We'll showcase the power of population health management and cross-system approaches. By implementing these strategies, we'll demonstrate how we can boost DOAC uptake, prevent inappropriate dosing, improve monitoring practices, and enhance cost-effectiveness. Don't miss this opportunity to explore innovative solutions for improving patient outcomes in AF care.
