Medicines Management

Medicines management enhances the safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of medication use within primary care settings.

By using Ardens Clinical and Ardens Manager, healthcare professionals can proactively monitor medication reviews, dosage adjustments, and alerts on contraindications and interactions. GP Practices, Primary Care Networks and Integrated Care Boards can then ensure patients receive the most appropriate treatments, reduce the risk of adverse effects, and ultimately improve overall health .

"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."
