Objectives To: (1) determine the percentage of population in England that have access to a community pharmacy within 20 min walk; (2) explore any relationship between walking distance and urbanity; (3) social deprivation; (4) interactions urbanity, deprivation access. Design This area level analysis spatial study used postcodes for all pharmacies England. Each postcode was assigned lookup table lower super output (LSOA). The LSOA then matched urbanity (urban, town fringe or village, hamlet...
Objectives (1) To determine the percentage of population in England that has access to a general practitioner (GP) premises within 20 min walk (the accessibility); (2) explore relationship between walking distance GP and urbanity social deprivation (3) compare accessibility community pharmacy—and how this may vary by deprivation. Design This area-level analysis spatial study used postcodes for all pharmacies England. Each postcode was assigned lookup table Lower Super Output Area (LSOA). The...
Hot days are increasingly common and often associated with increased morbidity mortality, especially in the elderly. Most heat-related illness deaths preventable.Medicines may accentuate risk of dehydration illness, elderly people taking multiple medicines, through following mechanisms: diuresis electrolyte imbalance, sedation cognitive impairment, changed thermoregulation, reduced thirst recognition, sweat production, hypotension cardiac output.Commonly used medicines that significantly...
Urban theorist Edward W.

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting patients with life-limiting illness use medicines inappropriately and unnecessarily. In this context, the perspective patients, their carers healthcare professionals responsible for prescribing monitoring medication important developing deprescribing strategies. The aim study was to explore lived experience in context illness. In-depth interviews, using phenomenological approach: methods transcendental phenomenology were used patient carer while...
Objectives: The e-prescribing risk and safety evaluation (ePRaSE) tool was developed to support the of hospital (EP) systems. uses fictitious patients alongside previously validated prescribing scenarios detect whether these systems provide appropriate advice users. We sought evaluate usability acceptability ePRaSE across different EP in England. Materials Methods: NHS hospitals England with live were invited participate. A combination observations semi-structured interviews used explore...
Background: For people in receipt of palliative care, where polypharmacy is common and medication burden high, there remains limited knowledge around the decision-making processes that underpin deprescribing; for example, recent deprescribing studies have focused on wider issues identifying care contexts. However, little known about specific challenges of, preferences towards, to support care. Aim: To explore approaches, based experiences their family member(s). Design: An explorative...
Evidence strongly supports improved outcomes following surgery when patients are more physically active, have better dietary intake, or generally fitter prior to surgery. Having an operation is a major life event for patients, and many not educated around what they can do as individuals aid speedier successful recovery their operation. What if there was time point before where clinicians could inspire adjust lifestyles the better, in order see fewer complications after surgery? This concept...
Abstract Introduction Undertaking physical activity, pre‐ and post‐operatively, can benefit recovery time improve post‐surgical outcomes. One cohort of patients that have reported these benefits are those undergoing surgery for breast cancer. Yet, what remains unclear is the level to which activity interventions implemented into standard surgical care with Aim s This systematic review aimed examine existing qualitative evidence focusing on post‐operative better understand shortcomings within...

Step reported included (including meta-analyses). 2 involved narrative synthesis outcome. Outcomes medication-related outcomes ( e . g .,...
The present investigation sought to define the responses of mouse eyes challenge with three different strains P. aeruginosa isolated from human corneas or contact lenses: two produced an ulcerative keratitis, and one strain lens-induced acute red eye (CLARE).The BALB/c mice were inoculated P aeruginosa. allowed interact for up 24 h. In addition, Paerl, CLARE, was subjected in vitro assays measure its ability invade corneal epithelial cells, produce cytotoxicity these cells. Both used...
In recent years community pharmacies have emerged as strategically important settings to deliver services aimed at promoting public health. order develop evidence-based approaches health interventions that exploit the unique accessibility of pharmacies, it is determine how people experience care in this context. This study, therefore, describe perceived and experienced with particular focus on pharmacy access. In-depth semi-structured interviews were used explore perceptions experiences'...
