So what is medicines optimisation?• An approach to the use of medicines endorsed by
NHSE and all the national health organisations
• A term that can mean different things in different settings e.g. specialised commissioning MO CRG, and Health Wealth and Innovation
• Patient centred medication which is safe and effective, getting the best outcomes from medicines for patients, public and society

What are the problems with medicines?• Up to half of patients in England don’t take their medicines as
recommended, wasting £500,000,000 a year in lost patient benefits
• Uptake of NICE approved medication is patchy
• Most patients moving between hospital and home experience medication errors on transfer
• 6% of emergency readmissions caused by avoidable adverse reactions to medicines
• 70% of care home residents experience medication errors
