Care Right Now is seeking NHS and social care partners to deliver the Patient Led Clinical Medicines Review; a novel approach to engaging patients in their treatments.
This involves patients attending a group session on medicines, and then having the option of reviewing their medicines individually in a separate session with two health professionals (e.g. a prescriber and a pharmacist).
For more information, get in touch with Steve Turner.

West Midlands Hospices spread the love on Valentine's Day
 John Taylor Hospice teamed up this week with other local hospices, to spread the love in Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield.
They handed out iconic Love Heart sweets to local communities with a special message – Love Your Local Hospice. As well as thanking supporters by sweetening their day, the organisations taking part hoped the event would raise awareness of hospice care amongst adults and children who have a life-limiting illness.
Each year, hospices across the West Midlands care for over 26,000 adult patients and over 1,500 children. They also provide care, support and practical help for their families.
