Pharmacy professionals are often the last interaction a patient has in a healthcare setting before taking their medicine. It is therefore crucial that as experts in medicines, pharmacy teams are able to use this opportunity to identify and address potential risks and ensure patients are able to get the most from their medicines to support medicines optimisation.

This module gives you the chance to consolidate your learning from the series so far. It looks at ways to ensure that you are able to support every older person that you come into contact with to use their medicines safely and effectively, in order to get the best possible health outcomes for them.
