168 GP appointments released a month after redesigning repeat prescription and medication review processes – Trent Meadows Medical Practice – Midlands

Meadows Medical Practice in Staffordshire is made up of 7 GPs serving a patient population of over 11,800.  Repeat prescriptions and medication review processes were consuming a significant amount of time for GPs and the reception team.  To find ways to make the processes more efficient the team participated in the Productive General Practice (PGP) Quick Start programme.  PGP Quick Start is delivered by NHS England and NHS Improvement and part of the Time for Care support available through the General Practice Forward View.
