Notes reviews and telephone consultations that meet SMR targets
Structured medication reviews are one of the most valuable — and most time-consuming — parts of medicines management in general practice. NovaMed provides a dedicated medication review service so more patients are reviewed without pulling your own clinicians away from other work.
We carry out notes-based reviews and telephone consultations, working to your priority cohorts to help your practice meet its structured medication review (SMR) targets across the year.
Each review is patient-centred and focused on getting the most benefit from medicines while reducing avoidable harm and waste. You gain reliable, additional capacity exactly where the SMR workload sits, delivered under GP-led governance you can trust.
- Notes-based reviews that work through your medication review lists efficiently.
- Telephone consultations for patient-facing structured medication reviews.
- Support to meet SMR targets by adding dedicated pharmacy capacity to your team.
Prescribing pharmacists for additional needs
A review is only useful if changes can be actioned. NovaMed prescribing pharmacists are available for any additional prescribing needs that arise, so adjustments identified during a structured medication review can be made promptly under your practice's governance — rather than waiting for a separate appointment. That keeps the whole medication review process efficient for patients and clinicians alike.
- Prescribing pharmacists available for additional prescribing needs.
- Changes actioned promptly under your practice's governance and oversight.
- A joined-up review-to-prescription pathway that saves patients a second contact.
Who it's for: GP practices, PCNs, Federations and ICBs across England that need extra capacity to deliver structured medication reviews and meet SMR targets.
