FIND LOGO AND GIVE MEDICATION ADVICE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our FLAG-Me Vision software alert helps pharmacy staff identify people with vision impairments, so they can offer tailored 1:1 support and access to resources that improve patient safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We provide support and information for pharmacists to help reduce the challenges of taking medication for visually impaired (VI) patients.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communication with pharmacists presents unique challenges for Deaf\/Hard of Hearing (HOH) patients, and has immense implications for increasing medication adherence and reducing medication errors in this population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prevalence of deafness and hearing loss<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
    \n
  • One in five adults in the UK are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 12 million adults in the UK are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus. That is roughly 10.1 million people in England, 1 million people in Scotland, 610,000 people in Wales and 320,000 people in Northern Ireland. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • In the UK more than 40% of over 50s have hearing loss, rising to 70% of over 70s.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • By 2035, we estimate there\u2019ll be around 14.2 million adults with hearing loss greater than 25 dB HL across the UK.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • An estimated 1.2 million adults in the UK have hearing loss severe enough that they would not be able to hear most conversational speech.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The primary reason for the rise in hearing impairments is the increasing age of the population. Hearing tends to decline for most people as they age. Noise-induced hearing loss is also a major area of concern with damage caused by listening to loud music through headphones.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
