Record learning outcomes

Numark has joined forces with MSD to launch a patient support programme for people with type two diabetes who are prescribed Januvia. The programme is designed to improve patient outcomes by equipping Numark pharmacists with the skills and knowledge to support their patients to take their medicines correctly and make healthy lifestyle choices. The Januvia patient support pack comprises a Pharmacy Excellence module, which can be used towards CPD; an information sheet and counselling aids for use during interventions; a patient information leaflet; a shelf talker to act as a reminder, and bag stickers for dispensary staff to use on prescriptions.

Mimi Lau, Numark director of pharmacy services, said: €Pharmacists and their teams can play a pivotal role in helping patients adhere to their prescribed medication through relatively small but significant interventions.€ Samuel Pygall, MSD patient and pharmacy services manager, added: €We understand that the pharmacist-patient interaction is one of the most critical along the patient journey and that maximising its impact is essential to enhancing patient care.€
