Pharmacy SusNet Online Event - Reducing Medicines Waste

Nuala Hampson

Our next Pharmacy SusNet online event feature Tracy Lyons, Medicines Sustainability Lead at NHS Dorset. Tracy will describe the Dorset ICB  “Only order what you need” campaign. This multi-modal, multi-partner campaign was designed to empower patients to confidently decline a repeat order of medications if they had sufficient stock at home. Within two months, the campaign resulted in a 2% drop in prescription requests across Dorset. It is calculated that 65,000 prescription items were not requested because of the campaign and using data from EPACT2, the associated savings were £475,000 in avoided prescription costs, and 294,975 kg of carbon emissions (CO2e).
