NHS Education for Scotland DoPs / SIG event – Communication Structure • MHPSG received a demonstration of MaPPs software • MaPPs is software that creates bespoke patient information about any medicine in a concise 250 word format • Produced by the same company that produces Choice & Medication • MHPSG wanted to make DoPs aware of this product and it’s potential value to patient care across all pharmacy sectors

NHS Education for Scotland DoPs / SIG event – Communication Structure • Proposals/Issues will be raised with the relevant Sector Working Group or Groups if the issue has cross sector relevance. • Passed on to DoPs as appropriate • Formal feedback then received

NHS Education for Scotland DoPs / SIG event – Communication Structure • Routes of communication haven’t always been clear between SIGs and DoPs. • The opportunity for dialogue between SIGs and the Sector Groups may improve communication in both directions
