You might be interested to know about your work in action: About a month ago our pharmacist tapped on my door and he noticed your platelet flag on a medication review and wasn’t sure what to do. We discussed a plan- and yes, [the patient] did have underlying cancer. This would not have been picked up at this stage had it not been for your platelet flag. So your work directly influences my day to day clinical work and also that of my staff…
…We’ve had a (non PCN) clinical pharmacist in our GP practice for about 7 years now. They do a lot of bloods for medication monitoring so may pick up platelets incidentally… [it] would be good to consider [targeting the HELP Flag innovation at in-house pharmacists too] as they are quite common in primary care now.
