@iSIMPATHY reviews improve quality, safety and outcomes meaningful to patient; economic benefits are a product of optimising medicines.

Huge thanks to patients, GPs & pharmacists, analysis partners @Pharmacy_UCC @NationalQPS @HSELive and iSIMPATHY partners @scotgov @MOICNI 3/3

In the realistic scenario (80% of working time spent on review-related activity), each review:

Costs €187
Saves €376 drug costs and €65-518 avoided healthcare utilisation
Each pharmacist employed generates net savings of €124,968 - 347,844 per annum 2/3

[Ciara Kirke @ciarakirke]

Delighted to share our cost-benefit analysis of @iSIMPATHY medicines reviews in Ireland https://t.co/AgNFq2b0Af.

Employing a pharmacist to work in GP practices to deliver person-centred reviews is economically dominant, generating savings outweighing the cost of delivery. 1/3

[Kieran Dalton @kierandalton99]

🚨 Our new paper published in @IntJClinPharm shows that #patient-centred #medication reviews by #pharmacists in general practice settings produce substantial savings 💶 💊
These roles should be considered for wider implementation (in #Ireland & beyond)

@drbosheaGP @RCGP_RoI @QUBelfast The @iSIMPATHY project showed amazing results in the 11 GP practices south of the border. https://t.co/YnvqqWNlFW Medicines optimisation reviews with shared decision making with complex patients. We absolutely need General Practice Pharmacists

[Dr. Brendan O'Shea @drbosheaGP]

Should we (ROI 🇮🇪) have Pharmacists in our General Practices ?

What could they do ?
What are the benefits ?
