Practice Based Medicines Management

We can work within your practice to assist and support your local PCT team and your practice in development and implementation of programs of care within your practice.

Medicines Management is a small (5%) but critical area of managing budgets and services effectively - enabling strategic choices in terms of minimising budgets, maximising profitability or indeed prescribing to reduce morbidity, mortality and future Hospitalisation of patients!

The pressures on practices to devote time to a number of complex agendas with varying budgetary constraints means that delegation of Strategic and Tactical prescribing issues would allow other staff such as dispensers or PCT prescribing advisors to focus on alternate priorities.

The Solution:

Medicines Management Solutions Ltd provide highly skilled Consultant Clinical Pharmacists to manage strategic and tactical issues within individual practices, Consortia or PCT's.

Strategies are agreed with all stakeholders but could include:

  • Cost minimisation
  • Minimise outpatient admissions
  • Maximise profitability

These strategies are then effectively implemented through operational plans involving Consultant Clinical Pharmacists working collaboratively alongside your practice staff.
