SNEE Repeat Prescribing Toolkit

Community Pharmacies across Suffolk and North East Essex have just TWO WEEKS REMAINING to take part in a new initiative aimed at improving the repeat prescribing process.

 As part of an ICB-supported scheme, pharmacies can complete a self-assessment to help identify areas of good practice and potential challenges, with a £100 payment available upon submission. While participation is voluntary, the initiative encourages collaboration with local GP practices and aims to support safer, more efficient systems that benefit both patients and healthcare providers.

Full details of the initiative, and all supporting documents, can be found here.
