Case Studies
Medicine Waste – Scottish Practice, Pharmacy and Prescribing Advisers Conference
Congratulations to NHSGGC Pharmacy Services, West Dunbartonshire HSCP Primary Care Pharmacy Team and the Patient Experience Public Involvement Team who were recognised as first prize winners at the Scottish Practice, Pharmacy and Prescribing Advisers Conference on the 22nd November 2024. Their research into public behaviours and solutions regarding overprescribing, the supply of medicines, and waste management has been invaluable and has helped inform a board-wide communication campaign. Lead author of the poster and Lead Pharmacist for Primary Care Anne Thomson (not pictured) said ‘we were delighted that over 1250 people took time to respond to our survey and share their feedback, experiences and ideas for change. This has given us valuable insight into what we can all do to improve how medicines are managed and reduce unnecessary medicines overprescribing and waste’.
NHSGGC also scooped the second poster prize for an innovative programme of education sessions delivered by pharmacy technicians for COPD patients; congratulations to NHSGGC Pharmacy Services, Glasgow City HSCP (South) and the West of Scotland Innovation Hub.
