Consultation on guidance for CCGs: Items which should not routinely be prescribed in primary care
NHS Clinical Commissioners (NHSCC) and NHS England have developed a proposal to improve patient care by no longer routinely prescribing 18 medicines which are either clinically ineffective; unsafe; or not cost effective or where the NHS can offer a clinically-proven alternative for patients.
An expert clinical working group was brought together earlier this year to review the evidence, and they have developed recommendations for a public consultation (21 July to 21 October 2017). The objective is to produce commissioning guidance to support clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in their decision-making, to address unwarranted variation, and to provide clear national advice to make local prescribing practices more effective. Any savings from implementing the proposals will be reinvested in improving patient care. As part of the consultation an online event (webinar) has been arranged for representatives of patient groups and charities for 14 September 2017, 2 – 3:30pm. Bookings to this event can be made here.There are also a number of face-to-face and online events planned for patients and the public.
