Walk in my Shoes was an Inter-Professional Exchange programme that took place across Lewisham CCG in 2015 and involved staff from GP practices who visited local pharmacies and community pharmacy staff spent time in the local GP surgery. All participants were asked to complete reflection forms which were analysed to identify and share best practice in joint working and propose action for the CCG to enhance effective working relationships between practice and pharmacy staff and so improve the overall ability of health care professionals to support patients in the medicines optimisation agenda. Ten months after the exchange, implementation forms were completed by participating GP practices and pharmacies to determine the effects, if any, of the IPE on joint working and medicines management initiatives.
Eileen White Has been Head of Medicines Management at Lewisham CCG for over 4 years having worked in primary care in the Borough for 15 years previously. I am involved in a number of programmes including the Integrating Pharmacy and Medicines Optimisation pilot in South East London.
Cleo Butterworth Cleo is currently the Associate Clinical Director for Patient Safety at the Health Innovation Network (AHSN, South London).
