       Impact on quality of care Pharmacist-led repeat prescription man

       What is the impact on quality of care or population health
       Pharmacist-led repeat prescription management services?
       Quality is likely to be improved for some patients because the
       extra checks help to ensure they are given the right medicines
       in the right doses, although the effect on outcomes has not been
       quantified.
       Monthly summaries of interventions are submitted by the
       pharmacists (see details in &#8216;Savings delivered&#8217;
       above for the annual figures).
       The process has facilitated shared learning for practice staff
       and clinicians. It has resulted in a time saving for GPs that
       releases more time for helping patients with complex needs or
       long-term conditions.
