The AHSN Polypharmacy Programme: Getting the balance right
2023-01-24 12:00 - 13:30 UTC
About this event

The new AHSN Network Polypharmacy: Getting the Balance Right Programme aims to support local systems and primary care to identify patients at potential risk of harm and support better conversations about medicines by promoting shared decision making. One of the core principles of this is population health management.
To consider how best to understand and utilise available data, the AHSN Network and NHS Business Services Authority (BSA) are hosting a webinar.
What will I learn?
The event will share information and insights into how the NHS BSA polypharmacy prescribing comparators can:

Support primary care and wider health systems understand the variation in prescribing of multiple medicines

Identify patients who are more likely to be exposed to the risks that can be associated with taking large numbers of medicines or certain combinations of medicines.

The second of a series of Learning Sprints for NHS people professionals is open for registration. These short sessions align to the eight themes set out in the Future of NHS Human Resources and Organisational Development Report and aim to equip colleagues working within NHS HR and OD with the skills and knowledge to deliver service transformation and culture change, as well as the tools for career progression and upgrading their Chartered Institute of Personnel Development membership.
Our next sprint focuses on introducing the NHS People Profession Map, the first draft of which can now be found on FutureNHS. Attendees will gain an understanding of how the Map and associated supporting materials can support the career experiences of colleagues from across the profession, including career conversations and appraisals and recruitment and retention, further-enhancing the NHS as an excellent place to work for HR and OD people professionals.
The session will include the opportunity for colleagues to ask questions and provide feedback on other areas of interest relating to the Map.
