2. Hospital Pharmacy & Medicines Optimisation→
2014
Medicines £6.0 billion
Hospital Pharmacy £0.7 billion
2016
Medicines £6.7 billion

3. Background
The HoPMOp programme savings target is £800 million by 2020/21 – eg £8m has already been delivered through soluble prednisolone (December 2014 to date + likes of biosimilar Infliximab etc)
The programme will deliver value for money and better patient outcomes from £6.7 billion + medicines, through working with 7,000 pharmacists and clinical pharmacy technicians
Technology is integral element – Automation, EPMA, Pharmacy Informatics – data and benchmarking
Evidence shows that clinical pharmacy (including medicines reconciliation) can deliver a return on investment of £5 for every £1 invested by:
Reducing dose omission
Reducing length of stay (2 days)
Reducing admissions (9 -16%)
Increasing time to readmissions (20 days)
Reducing medicines costs
Reducing errors on discharge (25% - <1%)
