Meet the team
Also:
- Work in progress ... taking advice from today's call to get our idea up here while we are finalising our consortium ... watch this space
What is the challenge your project is going to address and how does it connect to the theme of 'How can we improve across system boundaries?
What does your project aim to achieve?
Piloting – Reducing waste: Increasing medication adherence from ~50% to >98%
The benefits accrue across an integrated care system: NHS locally and regionally, Local Authority, care provider, staff productivity and stress … and especially to the patient / service user and their family … while supporting Net Zero
How will the project be delivered?
A collaboration between the service provider, commissioners, local pharmacies and the equipment provider (who are providing a free pilot), we are seeking to deliver direct benefits to the local served population, individual patients and, through health economic assessment, evaluate scope for wider adoption.
How you can contribute
- Health economics evaluation of this idea
- Other regions / health economies / virtual wards wanting address pharmaceutical adherence in this pilot, to provide more data points
- Access to pharmaceutical supply chains deploying pill pouching capabilities

I think this sounds really interesting and look forward to hearing more about it- when I worked in the community so many people had cupboards of medication and its dangerous as well as wasteful but a complex issue across different services to tackle. People worry a lot about running out of their medication too- is this something you would look at too?
