MOIC presentation in Norway

MOIC presentation in Norway

MOIC have always focused on building collaborations throughout Europe and we have put Northern Ireland firmly on the map as a centre of excellence for pharmacy.

Over the last 20 years we have developed a world class hospital pharmacy service and our focus on medicine management has been replicated throughout the world. Due to this success we are delighted that Professor Mike Scott will present virtually today to a group of hospital pharmacies in South East Norway on the development of medicines management and medicines optimisation in Northern Ireland. Professor Scott will also discuss our work on the Isimpathy project and showcase how this pharmacy project has improved care for patients prescribed with multiple medicines.

The discussion in Norway follows on from a visit by a group of pharmacists from Norway in 2019 to MOIC, when they were impressed by the work of MOIC and the pharmacy practices in Northern Ireland.

SHAPES – A Project Update

SHAPES – A Project Update

The SHAPES App is now up and running and we are delighted that we have recruited our first volunteers. The SHAPES project aims to improve healthy ageing at home through the use of technology.

Volunteers will self-monitor their health conditions using a number of clinical devices and the results will automatically be uploaded onto the APP enabling participants to keep track of their weight, blood pressure and blood sugars easily and on a daily basis.

MOIC programme managers are working closely with clinicians, participants and the wider SHAPES team to analyse the effectiveness of the technology and monitor outcomes.

We are using the eCare – Personlised Care Intelligence Platform to capture the data from our volunteers. To find out more about this and the project throughout Europe view the latest brochure.
