To raise awareness of how savings and be made and the patient service enhanced by using Dressings Optimisation Scheme (DOS) via Click our web-based platform. Historically there has and continues to be a lot of waste through prescribing dressings that may be incorrect, stockpiled in patients' homes or not available to the patients at the right time in the right place. With the readiness to prescribe it is tempting for clinicians to go off formulary which may result in poor choices that may not be both clinically and cost effective. By reducing prescription writing from our senior health care professionals and GP it frees up time for them to spend more time seeing patients and supervising junior members of the team.
Putting in for awards such as this one enables us to spread the word about what we can achieve in terms of savings, that can be released back into the system to make further improvements for patients and budget savings.
