🚨 Our new paper published in @IntJClinPharm shows that #patient-centred #medication reviews by #pharmacists in general practice settings produce substantial savings 💶 💊 These roles should be considered for wider implementation (in #Ireland & beyond) tinyurl.com/5e9nuknt

Delighted to share our cost-benefit analysis of iSIMPATHY medicines reviews in Ireland rdcu.be/dJxlL. Employing a pharmacist to work in GP practices to deliver person-centred reviews is economically dominant, generating savings outweighing the cost of delivery. 1/3

In the realistic scenario (80% of working time spent on review-related activity), each review: Costs €187 Saves €376 drug costs and €65-518 avoided healthcare utilisation Each pharmacist employed generates net savings of €124,968 - 347,844 per annum 2/3

iSIMPATHY reviews improve quality, safety and outcomes meaningful to patient; economic benefits are a product of optimising medicines. Huge thanks to patients, GPs & pharmacists, analysis partners UCC Pharmacy School @NationalQPS HSE Ireland and iSIMPATHY partners Scottish Government MOICNI 3/3
