Services Database Transfer of Care Service (TCAM) (Blackpool CCG and West Lancashire Areas)
Service ID
100539
Description
Community pharmacists can support patients to ensure that they get the best from their medicines by providing services such as the New Medicine Service (NMS) and post-discharge Medicines Use Reviews (MURs).
Recent evidence into these post-discharge medicines adherence programmes has demonstrated significant increases in medicines adherence, leading to improved health outcomes for patients and fewer admissions and re-admissions to hospital.
Systems are in place that facilitate electronic referral of patients from their hospital bedside to their choice of community pharmacy.
This is not a commissioned service.
