April is where next March is decided.

It’s not just a reset button; it’s a critical design window. The practices that feel calm in March don’t scramble at year-end. They build robust structures now.

• Clear medicines ownership
• Protected review time
• Monitoring that runs without constant chasing

March reflects April. Every time. Design clarity today for calm tomorrow.

💬 What system are you tightening first this month?

31/03/2026

“We have around 15,000 patients… and a lot of medications passing through.”

That’s the reality for many GP practices.

For Tracey, Practice Manager at Magdalene Medical Practice, the challenge wasn’t just volume.

It was how medicines work was structured day to day.

With nine GP partners and growing demand, prescribing, medication reviews, and ongoing monitoring can quickly become a constant pressure point.

So they made a change.

They brought in clinical pharmacy support.

Not as an add-on.

As part of the team.

Pharmacists who:
• Join practice meetings
• Support daily medicines optimisation
• Take real workload off GPs

The impact?

Less day-to-day pressure.
More structured medicines management.
And far less need for hands-on oversight.

“I check in… and it just works.”

That’s what effective medicines optimisation in primary care should look like.

A lot of ARRS models look good on paper.

The real question is - do they actually work day to day?

Because that’s where most models break down.

Not in planning.
In delivery.

The shift isn’t about adding more capacity.
It’s about building a clinical pharmacy model that runs consistently across your PCN.

• Clear roles and responsibilities
• Structured clinical supervision
• Predictable workflow and review cadence

That’s what turns activity into outcomes.
And capacity into stability.

This is where ARRS funding, workforce planning, and medicines optimisation either align - or create more pressure.

💬 How well is your current ARRS model working in practice, not just on paper?



30/03/2026

NICE has approved a new at-home treatment for advanced prostate cancer.

Talazoparib + enzalutamide gives patients who aren’t suitable for chemotherapy a life-extending option that can be managed outside of hospital.

The clinical impact is clear:
Improved survival
Delayed disease progression

But the system impact matters just as much.

• Fewer hospital visits
• More care delivered closer to home
• Reduced pressure on outpatient services

This is where medicines optimisation and innovative treatment pathways start to shift both patient outcomes and NHS capacity.

Because this isn’t just about new treatments.
It’s about where and how care is delivered.

💬 How important do you think at-home treatments will be in reducing NHS pressure over the next few years?



27/03/2026

March had one clear theme.

QOF pressure doesn’t create instability.
It reveals where ownership was unclear.

Across practices and PCNs, the patterns are consistent:

• Reviews weren’t protected
• Monitoring became reactive
• Medicines work didn’t have a defined home

The most stable practices aren’t louder at year end.
They’re clearer all year.

Clear ownership.
Clear supervision.
Clear outcomes.

April is where that clarity becomes operational.

💬 What will you tighten next month?

26/03/2026

Predictable medicines delivery has three components:
1. Clear ownership
2. Structured supervision
3. Outcome visibility

Remove one, and drift begins.

When ownership isn’t explicit, accountability diffuses.
When supervision isn’t structured, variation increases.
When outcomes aren’t visible, risk hides in plain sight.

Most instability in primary care isn’t about staffing numbers.
It’s about missing structure.

The practices that remain stable under pressure aren’t necessarily bigger.
They’re clearer.

💬 Which of the three feels strongest - and weakest - in your setting today?

25/03/2026

The 4 principles of medicines optimisation aren’t theoretical.
They’re operational.

Person-centred.
Evidence-based.
Safety-focused.
Sustainable.

But principles don’t improve outcomes on their own.

They only reduce risk when they are built into everyday medicines work:

• Structured medication reviews
• Clear clinical ownership
• Consistent monitoring
• Documented follow-up

Without that, they stay in policy documents.
And variation continues.

Medicines optimisation becomes predictable when principles are translated into workflow.

Sometimes the most important conversations happen away from the day-to-day.

Yesterday the senior leadership team at Core Prescribing Solutions took some time out together - good food, good conversation, and space to think beyond the day-to-day.

Stepping back like this matters.
It’s where alignment happens.
It’s where ideas sharpen.
And it’s where you make sure you’re building in the right direction.

Proud of the team and the culture we’re creating.

We’re growing our clinical leadership team.

Core Prescribing Solutions is recruiting for a Training and Development Pharmacist based in Bradford.

As clinical pharmacy continues to expand across primary care, the need for high-quality training, supervision and professional development has never been more important. Strong training systems don’t just support clinicians - they strengthen medicines optimisation, governance and patient outcomes across practices and PCNs.

This role will help shape how pharmacy teams develop at scale by:

• Designing and delivering training programmes for clinical pharmacists and pharmacy technicians
• Supporting clinical supervision and professional development
• Developing CPD, SOPs and competency frameworks
• Creating digital learning content including webinars, e-learning and online resources
• Translating national guidance into practical learning for primary care teams

We’re looking for an experienced primary care clinical pharmacist and independent prescriber who is passionate about developing others and advancing clinical pharmacy across the NHS.

The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting clinicians working across GP practices and PCNs nationwide.

If you’re interested in combining clinical expertise, education and digital innovation, we’d love to hear from you.

Governance doesn’t slow systems down.
It’s what keeps them safe.

It protects patients.
It protects clinicians.
It protects organisations.

When governance is built into everyday medicines work:

• Ownership is explicit
• Monitoring is proactive, not reactive
• Escalation pathways are clear
• Risk is surfaced early, before incidents occur

Strong governance doesn’t add bureaucracy.
It removes ambiguity.

The most stable practices don’t bolt governance on at the end.
They build it into workflow from the start.

Clarity protects systems.
Governance makes it visible.

Last week we asked:

What holds QOF performance back most in your practice?

Time came out highest.
But workflow and ownership weren’t far behind.

That’s telling.

QOF doesn’t slip because teams don’t care.
It slips when medicines work doesn’t have a clear home.

When ownership is unclear:

• Reviews become inconsistent
• Monitoring begins to drift
• Coding weakens
• Indicators turn reactive

Lack of time is often the symptom.
Workflow and ownership are usually the cause.

That instability rarely appears overnight.
It builds quietly across the year - and March exposes it.

The most stable practices don’t work harder at year end.
They design clarity into ownership and review cadence from the start.

💬 Does this reflect what you’re seeing in your setting?

20/03/2026

LTC outcomes are medicines-led.

Control in long-term conditions depends on how medicines are reviewed, monitored and optimised over time.

When pharmacists own LTC medicines work:

• Reviews become structured, not opportunistic
• Monitoring becomes predictable
• Polypharmacy is identified earlier
• QOF performance becomes more stable

Ownership isn’t about hierarchy.
It’s about clarity, accountability and consistency.

When that clarity is missing, variation increases.
And outcomes begin to drift quietly.

💬 How explicit is LTC medicines ownership in your PCN today?
