Medicines optimisation

Supporting a sustainable NHS

Prescribing is the most common patient-level intervention.* It is the second-highest area of spending in the NHS. Helping patients get the best from their medication and focusing on their needs is vital to a sustainable health care system.

We need to manage the health of populations, targeting interventions at those groups most at risk, focusing on preventative health care as well as treatment. There is a chance to galvanise medicines optimisation, improving health outcomes and financial sustainability.

Products and services align with three key principles:

• Safety
• Simplicity
• Savings

Underpinned by linked data and advanced analytics to help improve decision-making, it means our solutions help clinicians to better support patients and create a more sustainable NHS in the long term.

Working with integrated care systems

As integrated care systems (ICS) evolve and the elective care backlog widens, the need for clinicians to deliver more seamless care for patients is growing. Having one team, one strategy and a ‘do-it-once’ approach presents an opportunity and a challenge.

Systems need to find new ways of working that drive sustainability at system level and adapt easily to place. Providing local control helps deliver person-centred care and simplicity across the prescribing pathway. In the end, this reduces the need for intervention.

We have experience from delivering the NHS Population Health Management Development Programme in 36 ICSs and supporting 76 health boards across England, Scotland and Wales. These insights have helped shape our solutions differently.
