PINCER is an audit process for use in general practice to identify patients who are at risk of common prescribing errors.
Wessex AHSN invited one of the PINCER Trial researchers, Dr Sarah Roberts, to speak to Wessex CCG and GP practice staff about the trial. Alan McGurk from PRIMIS explained how to use the audit tool.

James Wilson, lecturer at the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Southampton, explains an interactive theatre method used to encourage audience participation and learning around challenging health matters, including delivering significant news and working with dementia and psychosis.
The Engage! Project was designed to support the psychological wellbeing of older adults during their hospital stay. Staff at Salisbury District Hospital recognised that when older people come into hospital they can feel that they have lost a sense of their own identity and independence, sometimes causing feelings of low self esteem, isolation, anxiety and depression.
Volunteers were recruited and trained to support older adults in hospital and make a difference during a difficult time in their lives.
Dr Leonard King and Dr Lindsey Hooper discuss the development of a novel MRI-based tool for evaluating forefoot bursae in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Sue Faulds, who leads the undergraduate nurse training course at the University of Southampton, describes what nurses need to learn in order to become competent and functioning staff in MDTs.
She worries about an over reliance on technology (while confessing her personal love of it!) to the point where the obvious is missed. Knowledge and attitudes to gain competence need to be built into training programmes for staff in training. Telehealth and telecare will be part of the future nurse’s armoury and how they are applied is key to their success.
The session concludes with a summary of the points made during the group discussions.
Pharmacists and Healthy Living Champions across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight talk about how the Healthy Living Pharmacy initiative has made a difference to their work in community pharmacy.
