Distribution of Age NI Frailty Calendars through the community pharmacy network
UCA teamed up with Age NI and partners including the Frailty Network to create a wonderful calendar full of great information and advice aimed at supporting older people who are frail, vulnerable or isolated. The Age NI Frailty Calendar includes information on community pharmacy services.
Through this calendar, Age NI are trying to connect with older residents who are perhaps housebound and vulnerable. That's where you come in - you know your patients and can identify those who are housebound or are living alone or isolated. SangersAAH will drop a batch of calendars into each pharmacy in the second week of January and we are asking if you could distribute them to eligible patients.
PHA have issued a general press release about the calendar which you can view here.
Plus, UCA has created a template covering letter that you can add to the calendar - you can personalise it with your logo and adapt it to fit your pharmacy services. See attached.
We hope that you can help us with this fantastic initiative to support vulnerable people in your community.
