Description of innovation

We can provide you domiciliary care including personal care and moving & handling, as well as provide you over-the-counter and pharmacy medicines and private prescriptions. We can also review your medicines use and contact GP surgeries and other healthcare units regarding management of your appointments and prescriptions, to expedite social care assessments .

This service aims to provide a better integration between health and social care services leading to better outcomes for patients and service users. Also as these services are provided by self-employed pharmacists and self-employed carers or self-employed social workers (directly employed by an individual, or related third party, or with an agreement to work directly for an individual) , this will be cheaper than care home or standard domiciliary agencies services and carers/pharmacists/ social workers also will earn more.

Each carer/pharmacist/social worker will be responsible to present their qualifications to each of their clients and agree care plans with their clients. Each carer/ pharmacist/ social worker will contribute with a small percentage to this social enterprise as well as clients will be able to donate for us to help other clients in need.
