Lesson 3- October 17th
Today we had a vocabulary test for vocab 1 and 2 followed by a very interesting presentation on Immunotheray treatments.
Then we worked on the parts of the body on page 19 followed by the reading of the article on the new missions the NHS is giving to pharmacists in the UK.
Here are the answers to the questions on the text:
1. Why was the pharmacy first advanced service put in place?
Patients can now get treatment for seven common conditions directly from their local
pharmacy, without the need for a GP appointment or prescription.
2.
How can GPs (general practitioner doctors) and pharmacists collaborate together and
streamline the work between them?
Pharmacy First aims to free up 10 million GP appointments a year by next winter for more
complex diagnosis. This will give GPs time and space to see patients with more complex conditions.
Four in five people in England can reach a community pharmacy within a 20-minute walk and there are twice as many pharmacies in the most deprived communities, making access to care quicker and more convenient.
What does it consist of?
Pharmacy First will enable community pharmacists to supply prescription-only medicines, including antibiotics and antivirals where clinically appropriate, to treat seven common health conditions without the need to visit a GP.
What are pharmacists expected to do in this service?
The pharmacist will be able to speak to you privately in a separate consultation room. They may perform an examination or ask to access your medical records. The pharmacist will be able to recommend the best course of action on an individual patient basis, including by issuing prescriptions for antibiotics or antivirals where necessary.
