Sharing Best Practice of BOPA Member Sarah Goman (Senior Pharmacy Technician) – New Pharmacy Patient Information Animations Launched at Velindre University NHS Trust

New Pharmacy Patient Information Animations Launched! – Velindre University NHS Trust

Sarah Goman, Pharmacy Patient Education Team Lead and the driving force behind these videos, said:

“We wanted to make sure that patients had access to information about the treatment that they are receiving in a way that is easy to understand and reflected the information given in clinic and by the education team. We also wanted them to be able to share the information with family and cares who are maybe unable to attend when they come to the hospital. By making this video we can share key common side effects for these treatments to patients and their carers which they can refer to at home. Based on the feedback that we received from the initial video, the aim of these animations is to compliment any written or verbal information already received.
