Promoting the safe and effective supply and use of medicines by older people with visual or hearing impairment
13 Oct 2024
Public Health & Wellbeing Forum
Older age is associated with increased prevalence of sensory (visual and/or hearing) impairment and the use of medicines. There has been limited exploration of the medicine-related needs of older people with sensory impairment. The SIPA1 and 2 studies used mixed and multiple methods and the concept of the medicine journey (consultation, order, obtain, store, administer, dispose) to develop a greater understanding of medicine-related needs as well as potential solutions. This presentation will summarise the challenges and describe potential solutions including those that have been developed and informed by this research programme.
