Well, that's a wrap on the #SWPRN25 Innovation Day - thank you to all the organisers and especially to Matthew Jones who masterminded the whole thing.
At the end of the day we were all challenged to make one commitment to keep the momentum going - anybody want to share theirs? #PharmacyResearch

Key messages from the other workshop on improving Quality Improvement:
"If you can't measure it, you can't control it"
"All improvements require change, but not all change is improvement"
"Bring people with you - break out of your pharmacy silo!"
Thanks to Ya-Hui Liang for feeding back. #SWPRN25

Some of the group feedback includes the threats posed by pharmacy workforce shortages (including making backfill difficult) and financial challenges (especially in community pharmacy). Opportunities include community pharmacy giving access to different patient populations for research. #SWPRN25

Straight away we are being asked to put our thinking caps on and consider pharmacy as part of research delivery: what are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

The realist approach revealed work-arounds. Some nurses reported that without understanding the 'why' of implementing the scanning system, there is a temptation to work around it if it speeds up medicines administration. It also help understand other practical barriers #SWPRN25

Aseel describes the background: Barcode medication administration may improve patient safety by using barcode scanning to ensure the right drug and dose are given to the right patient. Implementation of these systems is complex so lends itself to a realist evaluation approach. #SWPRN25
