No upfront cost

There is no upfront cost. We use a ‘risk, reward’ approach, whereby payment is based on validated, evidenced savings by the commissioner. Our approach is co-designed around your local needs and augmented by our extensive library of medicines optimisation prescribing switches.

Patients got the message sent to them when switched to the approved brand and this reduced the amount of queries received. Fantastic.
