Scottish Medicines Consortium 9. SMC will consolidate existing work with agencies such as the Information Services Division (ISD) and NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) to explore the feasibility and benefit of routinely monitoring the uptake of SMC advice and the publication of this information regularly to interested stakeholders. This will be dependant on the availability of improved information to NHS Scotland on the prescribing and use of medicines in secondary care. 10.SMC will continue to work with ISD to develop systems to assess uptake of new medicines. A priority may be the medicines that were included in the ‘Forward Look’ (SMC horizon scanning report) and have subsequently been accepted by SMC, seeking to learn lessons to inform future horizon-scanning work. This will be dependant on availability of improved information to NHS Scotland on the prescribing and use of medicines in secondary care.
