Please find below both research and educational resources for understanding and caring for older people with sensory impairment and their medicines management.

• A qualitative exploration of the experiences of community dwelling older adults with sensory impairment/s receiving polypharmacy
  As the number of community dwelling older people with sensory impairmentt and polypharmacy increases there is a requirement to identify challenges experienced by this population and offer solutions for safe and effective pharmaceutical care provision.
• A scoping review of the pharmaceutical care needs of people with sensory loss
  Unmet pharmaceutical care needs put people with sensory loss at increased risk of harm from their medicines. A detailed understanding of the needs of people with sensory loss is required which will inform future delivery of pharmaceutical care for this vulnerable population.
• “We're really not ready for this”: A qualitative exploration of community pharmacy personnel's perspectives on the pharmaceutical care of older people with sensory impairment
  Strategies are needed to encourage older people to disclose their sensory impairment. Education and training are also needed to optimise the provision of pharmaceutical care to this vulnerable population
• Has she seen me?’: a multiple methods study of the pharmaceutical care needs of older people with sensory impairment in Scotland
  Strategies are needed to enable people with sensory impairment to disclose their impairment to pharmacy personnel (and other healthcare providers). Community pharmacy personnel require training to deliver person-centred pharmaceutical care for older people with sensory impairment particularly regarding communication with individuals in this vulnerable population.
