A regular series of fortnightly webinars to support professional development and enhancement of patient care by the sharing of best practice.

Utilising PM Trainers from the successful Clinical Leadership in Pharmacy (CLIP) programme to deliver practical learning sessions of skills designed to aid personal and organisation development.

To complement skills acquisition there will be a second session in the webinar to exchange best practice which will be delivered by presenters whose satellite sessions have been significantly oversubscribed at Pharmacy Management Conferences.

Identifying and adapting treatment for frailty in cardiovascular disease - Paresh Parmar; Lead stroke and care of the elderly pharmacist, London North West Healthcare NHS Trust / Northwick Park Hospital

People are living longer, but not necessarily ageing healthier.  Frailty is an important prognostic factor in patients with CVD, and so identifying this feature when assessing these patients may help to individually tailor cardiovascular treatment. Frailty and polypharmacy pose challenges in managing these patients with multiple co-morbidities including cardiovascular disease and their medication. Inappropriate polypharmacy places patients at higher risk of adverse effects and unplanned hospital visits. Understanding what frailty is and how polypharmacy affects frail patients with cardiovascular disease will lead to better medication management through person centred care.
