Usually there is a lot of troubles when transmitting information about patients discharged in hospitals to GP surgeries, medicines often are not correctly updated. Failure to properly conciliate patients medicines in hospital admissions and discharges may end up in hospital readmissions, adverse effects and poor treatment outcomes.

We propose that all of a patient journey since it is admitted into a hospital until it is discharged should be totally recorded at NHS App in particular medication optimisation since getting into hospital, while in hospital and on discharge. NHS App should incorporate BNF, NICE guidelines, medicines interactions and renal and hepatic clearance tools as well as patients clinical tests results while in hospital. All the patient medication on admission, stay and on discharge from hospital should be recorded at NHS App and can be accessed by any medical staff in primary or secondary care and by patients and carers.

Ana Pedro 1.Gwyntwr1386 Pharmacy, Regus Chester Business Park, Heronsway, Chester, CH49QR, UK. info@gwyntwr1386.com The problem NHS 111 Key problems with the burden it places on emergency and ambulance services. Improvements need to be made to the NHS 111 service to make sure the triage software it uses prioritises patients accurately and minimises inappropriate referrals to the ambulance service. Also, the introduction of the NHS111 online service had a small impact on the number of triaged and total calls. However, evidence suggests an increase in the overall number of disposition recommendations (ambulance, emergency department and primary care) for NHS 111 telephone and online services combined following the introduction of the NHS 111 online service. ...

AN HEMOGLOBIN TEST FOR CANCER SCREENING (ISSN 2753-8176 (online))

AN HEMOGLOBIN TEST FOR CANCER SCREENING (ISSN 2753-8176 (online)) Ana Pedro1,2 1.Gwyntwr1386 Pharmacy, Regus Chester Business Park, Heronsway, Chester, CH49QR, UK. info@gwyntwr1386.com Under normal circumstances and at normal ambient oxygen tension, the red blood cell life span and the rate of effective red blood cell production determine the circulating red blood cell mass. Anemia, which can be defined in a functional way as the lack of sufficient red blood cells to maintain adequate tissue oxygenation, develops when the demand for new red blood cells exceeds the capacity of the bone marrow to produce them. Acquired anemia is always a consequence of a pimary disorder, which must be identified to make sure that a corrective therapy is administered. In patients with solid tumors, anemia can be caused by blood loss which can be either intrinsic or iatrogenic, iron or folic acid deficiency or hemolysis (autoimmune, traumatic, or drug-induced); or bone marrow failure due to t...
