Patient-centred care, Medicines Optimisation and Clinical Checks

This week we talk about how to make sure our patients are at the centre of all our decisions, how to put the MEP into practice. We’ll also go through the principles of medicines optimisation and what constitutes a clinical check. Also we give a shout-out to The Flashcard Pharmcist (insta: @theflashcardpharmacist) for being one of the most beneficial pharmacy accounts out there.

SPCs are common artefacts in your resource packs in the exam, and easily attainable points are lost when you don’t know how to navigate them. Listen that to understand SPCs better and to become a pro at finding information. Also the GPhC framework: the most useful document you’ll ever use! Find out why by listening today.
