Our team saves £1m per year on medicines in East Kent by keeping a close eye on value

The medicines value team (MVT) at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (EKHUFT) was formed from the legacy medicines optimisation team, with the aim of providing support for the NHS’s increasingly complex commissioning and quality agendas involving medicines. The MVT ensures the pharmacy department delivers the EKHUFT’s medicines value programme, supporting the quality and financial challenges around the effective use of medicines.
