She works as part of a multi-professional team in the community, looking after older people who are often living with frailty. The team focuses on what is important for the person and their family and help them to live the best life they can in the place they want to be. As part of a population health fellowship, she used the background of person centred care, collaborative working and changing practices to look at medication adherence in the community. This led into the project “Show me your meds please?” which is a simple screening question during routine home visits by community staff providing the potential for massive reduction in medicines waste, subsequent environmental and cost saving benefit, along with improved individualised patient care. @DebGompertz LinkedIn: DebGompertz Email [email protected]
