Due to a slight administrative oversight we had duplicated our sustainability application for the polypharmacy and deprescribing presentation at the RCGP annual conference in October and so we are actually on after all ,which is great news !
The RCGP Planetary Health Summit was very good and I am guessing many will be familiar with this…Read more

Hi Lawrence, apologies i’m only replying to this now! Great this is on the agenda at the RCGP conference. It appears too often the link between Polypharmacy / deprescribing and sustainability is over-looked. CSH are currently doing some with within NEL ICS with medicines optimisation teams and in primary care to look at this from a sustainability…Read more

Hi there,
I’m new to the Q community. I’m a pharmacist, spent most of my career working in primary care / general practice, now work full time in education, mainly for the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare. We have proposed an idea for a project focusing on medicines waste in care homes. This is an age old problem but we would like to look at b…Read more

Hi Nuala,
Would you consider including Oral Nutritional Supplements in the scope? Many nursing homes have large stocks and the questions you propose to explore would be equally valid. Happy to discuss further if helpful rebecca.fisher@nhs.lpp.uk

Hi Rebecca,
yes we would definitely include oral nutritional supplements within the scope. We’re focusing on avoidable waste – common items include ONS, topical products, continence items, dressings etc. I am in contact with one care home team who are planning a QI project specifically on reducing waste of ONS. Do you have experience in this…Read more

I think checking out the repeat ordering systems and processes is key to this . I suspect a lot of variation but may be some examples of good practice to share ?
