Another day, another demo! I always prefer to see people in person. The whole 'Teams' experience definitely has its place, but you can't use an AI generated background when in the same room... Today, I'm talking about CareSens Sfit & Dual meters! #pharmacy #medicines #diabetes

It's eye opening to see how Meds Optimisation has changed in the last ~10yrs. Teams known for cost efficiency and the 'race to the bottom' for medicines price has now evolved into ensuring long-term clinical savings via the most appropriate Rx, not just the cheapest one👍

That's not all! We have a 'Spin The Wheel' game that's arguably better than the one on the BBC hosted by that comedy bloke. #nhs #pharmacy #medicines

It's great to see an example of successful delivery within clinical DOAC reviews, especially given what a rollercoaster it's been with drug recommendations and the need for reactive localised guidance.
Duncan Richardson@MedsOpDuncan

Myself and @SelmaAbed5 collaborated with an ICB to focus on DOACs for AF patients. We reviewed medications for 3489 patients. This led to improved care for 1224 individuals, including adjustments, discontinuation, or additional monitoring. (1/2) integratedcarejournal.com/optimising-doa…

It's great that the #PharmacyFirst programme is now live. It adds another patient-centric quality to pharmacy practice and highlights the expertise of #pharmacists within the #NHS. Let's hope they get the time to adjust to the influx of feet through the door.

For seven common conditions your pharmacist can now provide some prescription medicine, if needed, without you needing to see a GP. Think pharmacy first. ➡️ nhs.uk/thinkpharmacyf…

Not long until the @Policy_Projects virtual roundtable. Collaboration with MO stakeholders is so important for successful project delivery; it's a great time to voice your opinion. Plus you'll get to see @MedsOpDuncan and @katherinejohn99 - you can't say we don't treat you! #nhs
Spirit Medicines Optimisation@SpiritMedsOp

Loving the paradox of feeling like January dragged on this year, whilst starting meetings with “It’s February already”? Either way, it'll soon be the new #NHS FY. Looking to speak to anyone via DM who is currently working on regional #QIPP to see where the priorities lie.

Apixa-un-banned? The #DOAC rollercoaster continues; After 2022's drive prescribe Edoxaban (helped by £14.8m of Impact & Investment Funding), #NHSE are now recommending generic Apixaban. england.nhs.uk/long-read/comm… A simple addition to the 2024/25 QIPP plans? Or more problems ahead?

Everyone loves a success story! I'm so pleased that we've now started working with GP practices in Leicestershire to look at their continence prescribing, making cost savings without impacting the patient's quality of life. You can read more here: spirit-health.co.uk
