Product | Accelerate Prescribing

Our team of experienced pharmacists find high-volume, low-cost switches across your system, in as little as 12 weeks, so you can continue to focus on your other priorities. Using analytics to identify prescribing opportunities, we deploy pharmacists into GP practices to implement evidence-based cost savings.

There is no upfront cost. We use a ‘risk, reward’ approach, whereby payment is based on validated, evidenced savings by the commissioner. Our approach is co-designed around your local needs and augmented by our extensive library of medicines optimisation prescribing switches.

(The Accelerate service) allowed us to do it (the switching of medication) which we would not otherwise have done. The amount of effort is tiny compared to the amount that it would’ve taken to implement that change ourselves.

The aim of the service is not only to free up workforce and find savings, it provides an additional opportunity to focus on quality and safety improvements too. Pharmacists don’t just simply switch; they check dose, appropriateness and missed reviews, so every switch is patient-centred. Pharmacists communicate every switch and deal with all queries raised by patients.

Patients got the message sent to them when switched to the approved brand and this reduced the amount of queries received. Fantastic.
