Workshop three:

Title: Prescribing: Thinking about problematic polypharmacy
Presenter: Joanne Reeve, Professor of Primary Care Research and Director of Research, Academy of Primary Care

What to expect:
The King’s Fund report told us that ‘compromises need to be reached between prescriber and patient perspectives on medication taking’ if we are to tackle problematic polypharmacy. But how do we do this in practice, when guidelines tell us what we 'should' be doing, and then COVID-19 has turned upside down what we are doing?
Our practice has started an evidence-informed quality improvement project tackling this issue. In this workshop, Joanne Reeve will describe what is happening to strengthen expert-generalist principles of prescribing, and the challenges that are we are facing. She will discuss the implications for developing broader generalist-based covid-19 recovery plans.

Workshop four:

Title: Cancer two week waits during covid-19 and recovery going forward

Presenter: Dr Dan Cottingham, Macmillan GP Cancer and End of Life Lead, NHS Vale of York CCG and a consultant from York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

What to expect: In light of covid-19 there has been significant impact on all the two week wait pathways and a 70 per cent reduction in 2WW referrals was initially seen. The impact has probably been most significant with the lower GI pathway as endoscopies were stopped and operating has become more difficult. As we head into a recovery phase Dan will be discussing things to bear in mind with referrals, what to tell your patients and how FIT will help with all patients to get to the diagnostic tests they need.
