Medicines Optimisation Centricity – in partnership with Aspire Pharma Limited
Initiated and funded by Aspire Pharma, Medicines Optimisation Centricity reflects a series of workshops ran and facilitated by HSJ Information (formerly Wilmington Healthcare), bringing together key NHS and pharmacy stakeholders to explore the most pertinent questions in medicines optimisation.
Workshop Series One
Medicines Optimisation Centricity – The way forward
Held in March 2023
This series of roundtable events explored the practicalities of medicines optimisation, sharing best practices to determine “the way forward” to ensuring optimal medicine optimisation.
Workshop Series Two
Medicines Optimisation Centricity – Is it creating health inequalities?
Held in July 2024
This roundtable discussion centred on whether medicines optimisation could be creating health inequalities/inequities. The roundtable offered a chance to reflect on medicines optimisation and inequalities within the new integrated care landscape and consider whether medicines optimisation is putting patients at the heart of the equation enough. View our attached white paper report, which summarises the key themes from the discussion and outlines delegates’ suggestions on how inequalities created by medicines optimisation can be addressed effectively in the NHS.
Workshop Series Three
Medicines Optimisation Centricity – What is the value of medicines in the patient pathway?
Held in June 2025
This roundtable discussion explores the pivotal role of medicines within the patient pathway and challenges the current system to become more patient-centric, integrated and outcome-driven. It asks the question ‘how do we put the patient at the centre of their own life and their own care?’ and ‘how do we ensure services are delivered with patients in mind?’ The white paper explores key barriers to effective patient-centred care and calls on NHS leaders and industry stakeholders to co-design and scale integrated solutions that enhance health outcomes and patient empowerment through better use of medicines.
