4 Clinical medication review Workshop book Workshop activities Activity 1 Prioritising patients for clinical medication review In your groups, make a list of patients you think are the highest priority for clinical medication review. Choose your top three. Use this space to note down your key learning points from this activity. Activity 2 Causes of falls With your group, make a list of reasons why older people are more likely to suffer a fall. While medicines may contribute to falls, they are not the only reason so try to think of other factors as well. Use this space to note down your key learning points from this activity. 4

5 Activity 3 Medicines that can contribute to falls The tutor will give you an envelope containing a number of cards which list some commonly prescribed medicines. In your group, rate each medicine red, amber or yellow according to the likelihood that it can cause falls. Use the space below to make notes or record your ideas. Red (High risk) Amber (Moderate risk) Yellow (Possible risk in combination) Clinical medication review Workshop book 2 5

10 Clinical medication review Workshop book Workstation 1 Documenting clinical medication reviews You have approximately 20 minutes for this workstation. 1. Review case study 2, Jim Turkington. Document your agreed actions and recommendations on the medication review action plan template overleaf. 2. The General Pharmaceutical Council standards require you to keep full and accurate records of the professional services you provide in a clear and legible form. How will you keep records of the clinical medication reviews that you undertake? What will you record? 3. If you are not working in a GP practice, how will you share the action plan with the patient s GP? 4. How would you monitor the changes to ensure that they are working for Jim and how would you document this? 10

12 Clinical medication review Workshop book Workstation 2 Consultation with simulated patient (Mr/Mrs Mederiova) You have approximately 20 minutes for this workstation. At this workstation, you will meet Mr/Mrs Mederiova, a patient who has been booked to see you for a clinical medication review. One of you will play the role of the pharmacy professional and the other will observe and keep time. The person playing the role of the pharmacy professional will have up to five minutes to review the patient s notes and prioritise suggestions for action. If you are new to clinical medication review you may wish to start by considering the list of possible medicines-related issues that we have identified from reviewing the patient s list of repeat medicines and blood test results. If you have previous experience of clinical medication review, you may wish to review the patient s repeat medicines and blood test results and identify the potential medicines-related issues yourself. During the preparation time, you may discuss the case with your colleague and use the British National Formulary (BNF) or other reference sources including medication review screening tools. You will then have ten minutes to consult with the patient, find out their priorities and agree actions to stop, start or continue the medicines. We suggest that you focus on a maximum of two to three issues during the consultation. The patient will then provide feedback about the consultation process including your ability to establish their perspective and priorities and share the agenda for the medication review. The observer will also provide feedback. If you are playing the role of a pharmacy professional give your workshop booklet to the observer to complete the observation form (overleaf). 12

14 Clinical medication review Workshop book Workstation 3 Developing a structured process for clinical medication review You have approximately 20 minutes for this workstation. Use your learning from the first part of this workshop to develop your own structured process for undertaking clinical medication review. n How will you prioritise patients for clinical medication review? n What questions will you ask to identify the patient s ideas, concerns, expectations and feelings about their medicines? n What questions will you ask to identify patients at increased risk of ADRs? n What further information will you need and where will you obtain it? n How will you identify potentially inappropriate medicines? Which screening tools will you use? n How will you balance the patient s priorities with your own concerns about patient safety issues? n How will you prioritise the issues for discussion with the prescriber? n How will you follow up the patient? Your process for clinical medication review 14

15 Workstation 4 Consultation with simulated patient (Mr/Mrs Baria) You have approximately 20 minutes for this workstation.

17 Workstation 5 Adverse effects and monitoring requirements of commonly prescribed medicines You have approximately 20 minutes for this workstation. Aim to spend ten minutes on Part A and ten minutes on Part B. Part A The table below contains a list of adverse effects associated with commonly prescribed medicines. For each adverse effect, use your BNF to identify at least three medicines that are associated with this effect. Try to choose the medicines that you see most frequently in your practice. Be specific and write the names rather than classes of medicines involved. Clinical medication review Workshop book Adverse effect Commonly prescribed medicines that can cause this effect Dry mouth Hypotension Hyponatraemia Sedation Confusion Increased bleeding risk Constipation Dizziness 2 17

18 Clinical medication review Workshop book Part B Many commonly prescribed medicines have certain parameters that should be monitored before and during treatment to ensure patient safety. Complete the table below, using your BNF to identify the monitoring requirements for the medicines listed. You may also find it useful to refer to the following online resource during this activity: Medicine Parameters that require monitoring Frequency Azathioprine Atorvastatin Diclofenac Digoxin Levothyroxine Ramipril Rivaroxaban 18

19 Workstation 6 Communication with prescriber (role play) You have approximately 20 minutes for this workstation. At this workstation, one of you will play the role of a pharmacy professional who has undertaken a clinical medication review with a patient and the other will play the role of the patient s GP and will keep time. The pharmacy professional will have consulted with the patient and will be aware of the patient s priorities. The pharmacy professional and patient will have agreed to stop, start or continue certain medicines but the pharmacy professional needs to discuss these with the prescriber so that they can agree the changes. You will have five minutes to read the brief and prepare for the discussion. During this time, do not discuss the case with your colleague. You may however use the BNF or other reference sources. Clinical medication review Workshop book You will have ten minutes to discuss and agree actions. The person playing the role of the GP will then provide feedback about the pharmacy professional s ability to present evidence-based, prioritised recommendations for optimising medicine regimens. 2 19
