18 GP Feedback The work done in the background to enable us to prescribe more effectively and safely is wonderful. A real triumph of team working. Dr Samuel Gee The Fryern Surgery I really enjoy working in partnership with the Medicines Management team. They clearly are trying to help with change that not only improves cost effectiveness but also improves patient safety and outcomes. When implementing the changes within our practice they are hardworking and thorough and the team are very quick in responding to any queries that we have as a practice. Dr James Beer The Red & Green Practice The team are an integral part of general practice and without you our job would be, if not impossible, much more difficult! Dr Mike Zardis Testvale Surgery I personally, and my practice have always found the Medicines Management Team helpful and valued members of the practice team. But there is more work that can be done, to improve patient care, that needs more pharmacists. Dr Simon Le Besque, West End 18

19 It is a pleasure and a privilege having Emma work in conjunction with us here at Blackthorn surgery. She is approachable, efficient and above all friendly. I am sure it is improved our prescribing and safety as well its cost. I look forward to continued working with her in the future. Dr Mark Tomson Blackthorn We have little time coping with the daily needs of patients to be proactive and it s great to have the support which must save a significant amount of money and provide better quality of prescribing for patients. Dr John Bush Hedge End Medical Centre I feel the Medicine s Optimisation Team has been absolutely crucial in supporting Forest Gate Surgery in all aspects of our medicine s management work. We have benefited from your continuous expertise and input which has enabled us to improve our delivery of care to our patients. With your help we can ensure we are prescribing safely and cost effectively and in line with both local and national guidance. The team is helpful and approachable on a wide variety of queries and your assistance with audits and the implementation of changes to a patient s medication is invaluable. Thank you all very much, we couldn t do it without you! Dr Ely Hunt Forest Gate Surgery 19
