This is a unique opportunity to work in an award winning service and gain experience in working with older people across care systems to improve independent and safe use of medicines whilst addressing challenges around overprescribing.

Responsibilities includes providing direct patient care and holistic patient centered structured medication reviews to proactively manage people with complex polypharmacy and adherence concerns, in older people and those with multiple long term conditions. The role involves visiting patients both in the hospital and home setting as an integrated approach as part of existing pathways of medicines support in Lewisham and further evolving models of Neighbourhood Care.

This post requires close partnership and team working with members of the MDT to co-ordinate medicines related aspects of care across both health and social care interfaces.
