Fall Patients Clinical Trial
Official title:
Referral to Pharmacists - Ambulance Clinician Experience Survey
Falls in people aged 65 years and over are a common reason for calling the emergency
ambulance service. Falls can be serious, with about 1 in 20 people having to be taken to
hospital because they have been injured. Thankfully, in more than 4 out of 10 cases, people
are not seriously injured and can be left at home. However, it is important that the reason
for the fall is found and future falls are prevented where possible.
Yorkshire Ambulance Service can already make a referral to another local service to get
specialist practical help for falls prevention when people are left at home after a fall.
Research has shown that the safe use of medicines can prevent future falls, but that did not
form. Now a new service has been set up for Yorkshire Ambulance Service to refer patients to
the Leeds General Practice (GP) Confederation. A pharmacist working in the patients GP
surgery will undertake a review of the patient's use of their medicines.
However, it is unknown how ambulance staff identify patients who may be at risk of future
falls due to medicines being taken or issues with medicines management at home. This data is
not currently collected in any ambulance patient records. It is also not known what their
current practice is when a patient who is not managing their medicines well is identified. A
literature search has revealed no papers on this topic. This research survey seeks to
understand how ambulance clinicians identify and assist patients who are having difficulty in
managing their medicines. Therefore, the results of this study are likely to provide new
knowledge which will be generalisable to United Kingdom (UK) ambulance service practice.
