✨ Lifetime Achievement ✨

As Andy's time as our Clinical Director and Chief Pharmacist comes to an end in the following months, it was only right that we did not let him go unscathed at our recent celebration event!

Andy re-joined Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust on 16th March 2020 - one week before the first national lockdown - and has cumulated an impressive three decades of service to pharmacy. This honourable award recognises Andy's lasting impact at both our Trust and beyond, and anyone who has had the pleasure of working with him over the years, knows he will be greatly missed.

Thank you for everything, Andy 😊

The rest of our department had a fantastic time on Friday raising vital funds and awareness for Breast Cancer Now! At an amazing current total of over £1,100 fundraised, we could not be more thankful to everyone for their support 🩷

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it is even more so important to highlight the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and break taboos on both women and men’s health - last week we did just that! A big well done to everyone that was involved 🎂

Think pharmacy first and get seen by your local community pharmacy team 💊

Your pharmacist can now provide treatment or some prescription medicine, if needed, for seven common conditions:

- Sinusitis
- Sore throat
- Urinary tract infections
- Infected insect bites
- Impetigo
- Shingles
- Earache

Going to your local pharmacy offers an easy and convenient way to get clinical advice on minor health concerns - you don't need an appointment and you can be seen in a private consultation room. For more information, visit: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/pharmacies/how-pharmacies-can-help/.

As part of our Wear It Pink celebrations for Breast Cancer Now, our wonderful team at Moor House hosted the Great Moor House Bake Off yesterday. They even had a very special appearance from Paul and Pru!

It was a fantastic effort as always from the team, whether our colleagues baked, bought a slice of cake, or rocked a pop of pink - and all for a great cause too 🩷

The rest of the department is joining the fundraising festivities today... more news on this to follow!

This month, Elisa (Advanced Clinical Pharmacist) presented at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust Report Out on her recent work utilising the Leeds Improvement Methodology. Elisa looked at increasing falls medication reviews on our older people's wards, as some medicines unfortunately increase the risk of patients having a fall.

As a result, 55% of the reviewed patients had a change made to their medication. This project also increased collaboration, person-centred care, and utilisation of resources. A great effort with great results!
