Ardens Clinical offers a wide range of decision support, including condition and medication-related templates, to streamline the clinician's workflow and provide consistent best-practice care for patients

Formularies
Formularies for SystmOne ensure prescribers are directed towards appropriate first or second-line medication safely and highlight suitable lower-cost options
Searches
Evidence-based searches support medicines-optimisation and improve patient outcomes

Thurrock
"It is really great that we have now a local End of Life anticipatory drug formulary. It will improve patient care, will make life much easier for practices and I believe is a small but important milestone in Grays PCN development and for other practices in Thurrock who have Ardens templates."
