Central London Community Healthcare Trust
The Role of Pharmacists in Supporting the Triple Aim Framework for Individuals with Learning Disabilities
The trust’s work focuses on reducing health inequalities by creating stronger connections between healthcare professionals, social care providers and the public. It particularly engages with groups who traditionally underuse healthcare services, including people with learning disabilities who often encounter significant barriers to accessing appropriate care. It takes a holistic approach to assessment, screening for wider social and economic factors that contribute to health inequalities, and providing guidance to appropriate services when necessary.
As pharmacists, they offer specialised expertise through home-based structured medication reviews (SMRs). These reviews are particularly valuable for patients with learning disabilities, as they ensure medications are optimally prescribed, appropriate for the individual’s needs, and clearly understood – all factors that improve adherence and ultimately lead to better health outcomes.
