Dear all, 

We need your help in commenting and voting for our proposed a project idea for the The Health Foundation -funded Q exchange programme Medicine Waste in Care Homes: Reducing Social and Environmental Impact | Q Community (health.org.uk)

£50 million worth of NHS supplied medicines are disposed of UNUSED in care homes each year with significant environmental impact.

Our project is focused on the environmental and social impact of medicines wastage in care homes. We want to explore the infrastructure, organisational and cultural factors that drive care home medicines wastage, measure the wider impact of medicine waste and develop solutions for the future. Voting is open until noon tomorrow Wednesday 12th June 2024
