BOB ICS Polypharmacy Community of Practice

The Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board (BOB ICB) and the Oxford Academic Health Science Network (Oxford AHSN) are developing a Polypharmacy Community of Practice for the BOB health and care system.  This is part of the national AHSN Network polypharmacy programme.

The 2nd Community of Practice meeting is on Wednesday 6th September, 13:00 – 14:00

This meeting will include an interactive session with Dr Theresa Frang, Consultant Geriatrician, Elderly Care Medicine, Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, with worked examples presented.  Please read the case study prior to the session to enable us to discuss polypharmacy scenarios from the perspective of the different care providers that contribute to the patient care within the system in the breakout session.

• foster a system-wide culture of collaboration, shared information, learning and innovation

The inaugural meeting of the BOB Polypharmacy CoP was held in June 2023.
