Welcome to the latest episode of Talking Meds and the PrescQIPP podcast, engaging conversations about medicines-related dilemmas. Today, your host Jonathan Underhill, Medicines Clinical Adviser at PrescQIPP, continues the series of podcasts called 'Caring about medicines in Care Homes with Jonathan and Sundus'.
In today's episode, Jonathan and Sundus are joined by Jane Shanahan who is a Pharmacy Technician with over four decades of experience. Currently, Jane works for the Specialist Medicines Optimisation Care Home Team at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS, where they provide expert support to numerous care homes through comprehensive medicines optimisation, crisis turnaround, staff education and training, and detailed medication reviews.
Jane has collaborated on many projects looking at anticholinergic burden and won the PrescQIPP gold award for their project on reducing anticholinergic burden as well as the APTUK Pharmacy Education and Development Award.
She is currently working on a collaborative national campaign called #FindYourEvelyn, which has resulted in significant improvement in quality of life for a 101 year old lady. The challenge from Jane is for others to find your Evelyn and make an impact on their lives.
