Our Objectives Scene setting - Getting medicines right for people with dementia CMHP, CPPE & Royal Pharmaceutical Society Royal College of Psychiatrists Local research & need for proactive medicines optimisation in dementia Pharmacist contributions to ensuring appropriate medicines use in people with dementia NHS England Perspective Q&A Time
Slide 5-

Dementia “ a syndrome consisting of progressive impairment in two or more areas of cognition: (memory; language; visuospatial & perceptual ability; thinking & problem-solving; personality) sufficient to interfere with work, social function or relationships”
Slide 6-

Local & National Getting medicines right for people with dementia CMHP, CPPE & Royal Pharmaceutical Society Royal College of Psychiatrists - liaison Secondary Care Prescribing of Antipsychotics
Slide 7-

Prescribing Antipsychotics for Older People with Dementia CSM 2004 warning: stroke increased by over 3-fold with risperidone or olanzapine and more than doubled with any other atypical antipsychotic agent. Two epidemiological studies in 2005 showed typicals had similar risk pattern Prime Ministers Challenge – reduce by 2011 Audit 2012 – success story or….
Slide 8-

ANTIPSYCHOTIC RISK ASESSMENT IN DEMENTIA (AID - Assess, Investigate and Deliver best care) ASSESS Does the patient have dementia with psychosis or exhibits severe physical aggression? 1 INVESTIGATE Look for factors which worsen symptoms & risk factors for thrombo-embolism (CVA, DVT, PE, MI) Delirium (see NICE CG103 – Delirium) Pain Dehydration Sedation Infection Immobility VTE risk assessment 2 DELIVER BEST CARE Complete a Capacity Assessment for informed consent to the treatment. If lacking proceed under “Best Interest” guidance (see Mental Capacity Act) Treat factors which worsen symptoms e.g. delirium & pain Treat underlying thrombo-embolic risk factors , dehydration, causes of sedation e.g. medication and infection Maximise mobility Consider VTE prophylaxis Review the need for an antipsychotic on a regular basis, initially daily Review the need for their continuing use prior to discharge If prescribed post discharge arrange a post-discharge review as soon as possible by primary care or specialist mental health services Do not give an antipsychotic to a patient with Parkinson’s disease or Lewy Body dementia without advice from a psychiatrist or specialist physician experienced in their use. Do not use the drugs stated below Start with the lowest dose possible for clinical effect. Use oral risperidone (max 2mg daily) or when oral administration is not possible intra-muscular haloperidol (max 3mg daily). Do not use anticholinergic medication routinely for problematic side effect as they cause delirium in dementia as do other drugs with anticholinergic side effects. Reduce the dose or stop the antipsychotic Discuss with the patient & their relative/carer the risks and benefits of their use. 1 in 3 people will benefit. 1 in 100 will experience a CVA & 1 in 100 will die as a result of their use 3 YES NO - do not prescribe an antipsychotic When completed Date: Patient ID
Slide 9-

Pharmacists Role Look for underlying causes; ensure these are treated effectively Look for underlying medication precipitants; withdraw if appropriate Ensure smallest effective dose used of non-anticholinergic AP (risperidone); monitor for effect Ensure withdrawn if ineffective or symptoms resolve
Slide 10-

Professor Clive Ballard Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease Does the patient have challenging behavioural symptoms? Yes No Consider psychological and alternative therapies Has there been a sufficient response? Yes Monitor No Pharmacological options Short-term management Longer-term management Possible care pathway for AD management in patients with behavioural symptoms
Slide 11-

Rationale for Non-pharmacological interventions Liaison Services (eg. Ballard et al 2002) Clinical Psychologist (eg. Bird et al 2007/2009) Staff training (Fossey et al 2006, Chenoweth et al 2009) Social Interaction (Cohen-Mansfield et al 1997, 2007, Ballard et al 2009)
Slide 12-

Aromatherapy, herbal remedies and food supplements
Slide 13-

Recommendations for short-term antipsychotic use Non pharmacological Interventions and alternative pharmacological treatments need to be available Severity criteria need to be in place for the prescribing of Antipsychotics to people with dementia Relatives should receive full explanation Monitoring should be mandatory Treatment should not be continued beyond 12 weeks except in extreme circumstances - and this should be policed

Assessment Tools Assessing cognition in older People: a practical toolkit for health professionals. http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/cognitiveassessment
Slide 16-

Recent Research Pharmacist input concomitant medication swallowing difficulties compliance issues repeat prescribing problems, and lack of proactive information provision
Slide 17-

Potential Pharmacist Input Medicines management issues Concomitant medication Medicines use reviews Progression, and at any stage Proactive provision of information See the RPS Practice Guidance for dementia http://www.rpharms.com/public-health-resources/mental-health.asp?
Slide 18-

Medicine Management Issues Counselling points All medication Cautions Side Effects Assessing Efficacy Withdrawal Issues – all medication
Slide 19-

Concomitant Medication Check for anticholinergic load e.g oxybutynin; antidepressants; thioridazine; Check for adverse CNS effects e.g. Long acting benzodiazepines, barbiturates; opiates; dopaminergics Check need for antipsychotics – risperidone only licensed agent in aggression Any agent potentially causing confusion e.g. LA hypoglycaemics; NSAID’s H2 antagonists e.g. cimetidine Ensure all CV and diabetic risks treated appropriately
Slide 20-

Medicines Use Reviews http://www.pm-modules.co.uk/pm_modules/dem_pm0713.pdf Appropriate titration Check for side effects Cholinergic Cardiovascular Cramps compliance issues and repeat prescribing problems Other medicines – question everything
Slide 21-

Compliance (Secondary Adherence) issues Large numbers of medicines Interactions or side effects Timing Remembering Strain on main carer/PWD living on own Repeat prescribing issues - stock, labelling issues, equal quantities of all medicines, formulation
Slide 22-

Progression Swallowing difficulties Behaviour Dietary intake and fluid Bowels Palliation
Slide 23-

Proactive Information On diagnosis signposting to support groups & social service support Lifestyle changes to keep healthy healthy body is a healthy brain On receiving a medicine for dementia AE, compliance issues, concomitant medicines Social, ethical and legal issues - Advance Directives, wills, Power of Attorney etc Care & end of life issues
Slide 24-

Social Care & Support CPN monitoring Psychiatric care support programme Care & patient counselling/support/stimulation Day hospital services Social worker assessment Respite care End of Life Care – hospice?
Slide 25-

Why is this Important? Prolonged stress leads to poorer health outcomes for both carer and PWD and then institutionalisation Better quality of life for people if better adherence to their medicines Carers more supported in coping with supervisory medicines role
Slide 26-

Public Health and Dementia? Lifestyle changes which improve cognitive reserve Better and continuing education & occupation Physical activity and exercise Midlife obesity Alcohol intake Smoking cessation ?improved social networking Improved treatment or prevention of certain medical conditions Stroke prevention Diabetes control, midlife hypertension, Midlife hypercholesterolaemia Midlife fitness levels
Slide 27-

QUALITY OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DEMENTIA Anne Child Head of Pharmaceutical Care and Clinical Standards Avante Care and Support
Slide 28-

HERE WE ARE! - WHERE ARE WE ? Challenges faced in delivering quality outcomes for residents with dementia Dementia is in itself a complex condition requiring a MDT approach Residents are often living with more than two other LTC that need close monitoring and co-ordinated management across specialisms There is a need to meet health and social care needs in order to promote overall well being
Slide 29-

IMPROVED INTEGRATION HOW THIS WOULD HELP WITH MUR ! Access to specialist input in home environment - GPs can access support i.e. ask consultants: Is there a pathway where pharmacists could tap into specialist pharmacists and thus improve residents outcomes?
Slide 30-

Continued This could be used post review to enhance recommendations - more MDT working Facilitate medicines optimisation and or facilitate withdrawal of low dose antipsychotics how many community pharmacist would feel confident to initiate withdrawals? Improve professional understanding Help with management and positive care planning for residents
Slide 31-

Example of medication review outcomes
Slide 32-

POSITIVE CARE PLANNING I.E. LBD Pharmacist Input could be focused on the individual, not the drug profile: Increase staff awareness to drug sensitivity of individuals with this diagnosis Increase risk of postural hypotension and falls, target this area in MURs Reduction in psychotropic medication by management of disease manifestations
Slide 33-

Advanced care planning Adequate information for individuals and their relatives to support decision making Some areas have this well managed see PEACE pathway Kings College for last months of life Medway has the my wish register
Slide 34-

APPROPRIATE USE OF LOW DOSE ANTIPSYCHOTICS In practice at home level we apply best practice Watchful waiting - Psychosocial interventions - In some residents we have found it is appropriate to use this form of medication in line with the Banerjee report Regular review
Slide 35-

OTHER HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS Avante is lucky enough to have: An Admiral Nurse who works with individuals, families and staff to improve understanding and manage expectations of care A Health and Wellbeing specialist who oversees nutrition and hydration
Slide 36-

MORE THAN THE DRUGS OUTCOME LINKED Reducing avoidable hospital admissions linked to medication, falls, nutrition and hydration Personalisation of care and improved expectations Living well with dementia as opposed to suffering from dementia

Slide 38-

Conclusions Dementia is a complex and life changing condition It affects spouses, partners, families and communities Needs are multiple and varied Medicines can play an important role in delaying progression and Improving behaviours Pharmaceutical Care for people with dementia and their carers needs to be proactive
