Professor Rhiannon Tudor Edwards presents at international forum
Professor Rhiannon Tudor Edwards, Co-Director of the Centre for Health Economics and Medicines Evaluation, Schools of Health Sciences and Medical Sciences is in Washington DC this week presenting at the Commonwealth Fund Harkness Alumni Health Policy Forum. She presents research in conjunction with BCUHB colleagues on The Enhanced Care at Home Service on Anglesey which allows largely elderly patients to be cared for at home through their GP and Advanced Community Nursing Services. This specialised medical care in the home, with back up from an hospital consultant, compliments the previous rapid response service on the island, further bringing together health and social care services. The service has been well received by patients and family carers and there is some evidence that it is reducing admissions to hospital.
