Medicines management is a part of the wider medicines optimisation agenda. It is an evidence-based approach to prescribing which balances the safety, tolerability, effectiveness, cost and simplicity of treatments.

Good medicines management means that patients receive better, safer and more convenient care. It focuses on the prescribing of medicines ensuring patients get the best use from their medicines, working closely with clinicians to ensure the NHS gets the best value.

The team are also involved in the access to high-risk and high-cost medicines and working with secondary and tertiary care, mental health and community services to ensure these medicines are prescribed appropriately and safely.
