Practice Medicines Co-ordinators (PMCs)

Read more about this project >

We welcomed Sue Smith from Nene CCG and Corby CCG to further capture and share their award winning innovative work on Practice Medicines Co-ordinators (PMCs).

This project was submitted as an example of “clever commissioning” because the CCGs’ Prescribing and Medicines Management Team (MMT) used a gain share incentive with GP practices in order to improve the quality and safety of their repeat prescribing systems to help optimise patient’s use of medicines and to also reduce prescribing costs due to better controls and efficiencies in the systems.
