Formulary Harmonisation

On Thursday 4th December at 1pm we hosted an insightful webinar exploring our experience of the benefits, challenges, and strategies of formulary harmonisation across systems and regions.

The session provided valuable perspectives on aligning formularies to improve patient outcomes, reduce variation, and support integrated care.

Formulary Harmonisation

Why it’s important

The UK Government’s ‘Fit for The Future 10 Years Health Plan for England’ has ambitions to move to a single national formulary for medicines within 2 years.  This webinar aimed to instil considerations and confidence in those who will be leading this for their NHS organisations.

What was covered

Speakers discussed the challenges, solutions and lessons learned to implementing formulary harmonisation across an ICB area.
