Care navigation is now live in GP practices across the borough of Bury, which may increase patient visits to pharmacies. Trained care navigators will help patients see the right healthcare professional for their needs. Where appropriate, they will advise patients to visit a local pharmacy. Find out more.
Pharmacy teams can get resources to help improve nutrition and hydration in older and vulnerable people in Bury, as part of a new pilot in some areas of Greater Manchester. The resources available include staff training/education, information booklets for patients/customers, and paper armbands that help identify people who may be at risk due to low BMI. Pharmacies may also find this visual checklist helpful. For more information, contact your local project lead: Carmel Berke, 07846 880694, cberke@ageuksalford.org.uk.
