Session Title
Joining forces for better medicines optimisation: GPs and community pharmacists working together with ICBs
Description
As independent prescribers, community pharmacists will be working more closely with GPs to engage with ICB medicines optimisation leads on local formularies – with a national formulary also on the horizon. This session provides insights into how to influence decision-making and make your voice heard. It also showcases real-world examples of joint approaches to tackling challenges around repeat prescribing, deprescribing, concordance, over-supply and medicines waste reduction.
