Medicines Optimisation
Maximising Medicines Optimisation for Safer, More Effective Healthcare
Better Patient Outcomes: Ensuring the right medicines are prescribed and used effectively
Increased Safety: Reducing medication errors, adverse drug reactions, and unnecessary prescriptions
Improved Efficiency and Cost Savings: Minimising medicine waste and optimising healthcare resources

What is Medicines Optimisation?
Medicines optimisation ensures medicines are prescribed, dispensed, and used effectively to achieve the best patient outcomes. It focuses on safety, evidence-based prescribing, and patient needs, going beyond medicines management, which handles logistics like procurement and distribution. By reducing waste and improving adherence, medicines optimisation enhances both patient care and healthcare efficiency.
Why Medicines Optimisation is Essential for Healthcare Providers
Medicines optimisation goes beyond prescribing—it ensures medicines are used safely, effectively, and efficiently. This improves patient care, reduces risks, and helps providers meet regulations while managing costs.
- Better Patient Outcomes – Optimised medicines lead to fewer complications, improved symptom control, and better overall health.
- Enhanced Safety – Reduces medication errors and adverse reactions by ensuring prescriptions are appropriate and regularly reviewed.
- Improved Efficiency and Cost Savings – Minimises medicine waste, improves stock management and ensures resources are used effectively.
- Regulatory Compliance – Helps providers meet NICE and NHS guidelines, maintaining high standards while delivering safer treatments.

What do Practice Managers say about our Clinical Services?

After several pitched presentations Core Prescribing Solutions were unanimously chosen…
We have been working with the team at Core Prescribing Solutions (CPS) for months now. After several pitched presentations CPS were unanimously chosen.
At our practice the clinical pharmacists are now an integral part of our team. We have recently done a focused piece of work involving both the management team and clinical pharmacists at Core Prescribing Solutions and our colleagues at ECLIPSE and ICB where the collaborative working that we at our practice have completed with the support of CPS has delivered excellent results in our completed SMRs. We are currently ranked 1st for total % SMR for polypharmacy. The ethos of CPS is all about being positive, working collaboratively and delivering on results and safety and influencing patient outcomes. I would recommend that any surgery take up the opportunity of working this talented group of pharmacists who are always ready to help and are also sensitive to recognise the individuality of GP surgeries and work in a way that is right for the practice and work collaboratively to face any challenges as a team and influencing and changing patient outcomes for the future.
