NICE to speed up access to new treatments

NICE is promising to speed up patients' access to the latest and most effective treatments as part of its new five-year strategy.

Sore throats, mixed message

The big story about pharmacy in the past week or so (yes, I know – the only story we’re really interested in is the one about the looming pharmacy cuts – about which, more later!) has been the news that NHS England has selected the sore throat scheme piloted by Boots to be one of eight to be included in this year’s NHS Innovation Accelerator programme. For this year, the criteria for selection were that projects had to focus on prevention, early intervention and management of long-term conditions, all of which are highly relevant to community pharmacy.
