Area Prescribing Groups (APG)

Area Prescribing Groups are a vital, strategic pillar for NHS commissioners and provider organisations. They deliver cost-effective and evidence-based prescribing across the local health economy, updating medication pathways to support continuous improvement of patient outcomes.

NHS ML have vast experience, technical expertise, and a proven record of providing bespoke APG support for Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Medicines Optimisation Committee (BSOL IMOC), the Black Country Integrated Medicines Optimisation Group (BC IMOG) and the  Lancashire and South Cumbria Medicines Management Group (LSCMMG).

Those involved with Integrated Care Systems (ICS) will be developing their governance approaches to ensure that there is strategic medicines oversight. This presents opportunities to review APGs or their redesign to include areas such as workforce, digital or wider agendas.
