Social Care
The Medicines Optimisation Team work collaboratively with Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council providing professional medicines advice and support to promote quality and safety across the social care sector.
This includes annual quality monitoring visits to all Nottingham & Nottinghamshire ICB care homes and contracted domiciliary care agencies by our specialist team of technicians.
We provide comprehensive local medication guidance to ensure medicines are managed appropriately in social care settings according to current legislation & national guidance.
A quarterly medicines newsletter is produced and circulated to social care establishments to provide topical and current information to help promote best practice.
