Together, the two bodies applied for funding for four pharmacists from the Health Centre Pharmacy Carrickfergus to be trained by the Medicines Optimisation in Older People consultant pharmacist on how to identify older people living with frailty in the area and to address their needs in terms of isolation, low income, mental health and self-care.
