Yep been telling my patients for years " The NHS is not resourced for perfection , we have to aim for excellence ie that the simple things get done right every time" Just like my care we need a Holistic not Atomistic approach by whoever is now in charge.....?????

Exciting news! We will be live at the next @CPCongress! At our live shows we bring the best of the podcast to the stage. Stories, Conversations and Improvement Insights and a fantastic guest. We promise something different and a fun and informative session. See you there!

Great podcast about a superb medicines website gpevidence.org , with more car analogies re medicines use too💪 #pharmsky #medsky #medicines

Happy #Internationalwomensday! We were told early on we were ‘a bit blokey’ and so we’ve always strived to do our bit to highlight inequality. A huge thank you to all of the inspirational women we’ve had as guests and those who have helped us on our podcast journey

We have taken over 1,300 people through our Polypharmacy Action Learning Sets. Through this work, we recognised the need to support NHS organisations to develop systems and services to address problematic polypharmacy and overprescribing. We hope this helps. 😊 @stevechemist.bsky.social 👏👏

Most people relate to purchasing, running & maintaining a car We see the patient as the driver,their body as the car, the prescriber as the mechanic The SMR is the MOT! Multiple car analogies in the manual brings to life the nuts and bolts needed for overprescribing stewardship #pharmsky

"Can it work, NOT will it work" #medsky #pharmsky #polypharmacy #deprescribing

Think we need better academic definitions of Multimorbidity as two or more conditions is misleading & not really multimorbid in a clinician world ? 2 =Couple and could be " minor"🤔

Fantastic article by Gillian Tett in today’s @financialtimes.com. We are in an *epistemological crisis* where the importance of facts, learning, expertise and critical reasoning is being undermined by the rise of social media and right wing ideology.

And the side effects commonly reported were ..... 2 sides to every "medicines coin" Harms and Triumphs and we need to be clear and allow patient choice @alfcollins.bsky.social @stokemacca.bsky.social @auralapothecary.pharmsky.app

Very interesting report. Of course " getting it right is difficult" but it is 2025 , the "NHS is Broken" & change we must .....Given this some serious thought over the last few years. See @auralapothecary.pharmsky.app blog theauralapothecary.com/blog/do-i-ne... #pharmsky
