Supporting Realistic Medicine through the delivery of aSingle National Formulary
Today’s session In this interactive session, delegates will take part in group discussions to consider how to implement the new approach throughout Scotland by considering current practice and what will help facilitate the roll-out of the national formulary and how it can be embedded.
Realistic Medicine and the development of theScottish Formulary
Benefits of the Scottish Formulary • Support the reduction of unwarranted variation in prescribing practice, reducing medicine harm and continuing to improve patient outcomes. • Help to achieve more equitable, greater value-based care so that the potential population benefit from medicines can be maximised. • Supports the principle that services and functions of the health service which can be delivered more efficiently at national level will be done on a ‘Once for Scotland’ basis
Defining the Scottish Formulary • How do the existing formularies describe themselves? “list of medicines approved for local use” “promoting high quality, safe and cost-effective prescribing” “evidence-based formulary ” “drug prescribing guidance” “provide appropriate treatment for the vast majority of patients” “based on local expert opinion and practice” “a tool to assist” “primary and secondary care”

SIGN 154: Diabetes • SIGN update on the pharmacological management of T2DM • Evolving evidence base • New class of agents • Several studies assessing CV outcomes
SNF within the wider context Aims of Quality Prescribing
Ensuring spending is effective…. 8% of medicines spend on DM
Guidelines & Clinical Practice Analogue Insulin use as basal insulin in T2DM
Potential Benefits of a SNF • Reduce variation across health board areas • Improve safety as complex area • challenging for specialists & non-specialists • Dynamic process • beneficial with rapidly evolving evidence base • Avoid unnecessary duplication of effort • 14 health boards often reviewing the same information • Potential to link in with procurement • maximise cost effectiveness
