NHS Medicines Optimisation Conference
“Medicines optimisation is about helping people to get the best outcomes from their medicines. It describes systems and processes used by staff, working in health and social care, which ensure that people receive the best possible care with medicines.” Health Education England
In March 2021 the NHS published the Network Contract Directed Enhanced Service Structured medication reviews and medicines optimisation guidance, this document outlines changes to the delivery of a structured medication review. PCNs must proactively consider all aspects of this guidance when planning, implementing and delivering structured medication reviews (SMR)
SMRs are designed to be a thorough clinical review of a patient’s medicines and detailed aspects of their health. They are delivered by aiding shared decision-making conversations with patients aimed at ensuring that their medication is working well for them.
The Convenzis NHS Medications Optimisation Virtual Conference aims to share key insights and updates following these forward-thinking initiatives and central guidance.
We will explore the “What has worked” and the “What hasn’t” and enable delegates to take part in key Q&A sessions with our panel of guest speakers from across industry and the NHS.
