Supporting vulnerable patients from medically
under-served groups
A co-produced e-learning programme for pharmacy and health professionals
Vulnerable patients and people who are medically under-served find accessing health and screening services challenging. Our research suggests that people’s experience with pharmacy and other health services is variable. Many experience discrimination or disadvantage as a result of their status. Extra support is urgently needed.
We are a team of researchers who have co-produced with patients an e-learning programme for pharmacy and other health professionals. Watch the video and hear why you will benefit from the e-learning below:
