Pharmacist-led reviews to proactively manage patients with COPD and overcome the backlog of care

The primary objective was to create a programme that would reduce the backlog of care and provide efficient care to high risk COPD patients and to reduce any clinical complications or unplanned admissions. The seven-week support service provided additional clinical pharmacist resource to assess and proactively manage patients with COPD, this included:

• • identifying gaps in care to recognise patients at risk of adverse events
  • Providing skilled capacity to deliver best care at scale and address healthcare inequalities
  • providing mentorship opportunities to the multidisciplinary team to sustain enhanced care.

The outcomes and how these were achieved are detailed in the poster, which can be found below.
