NPC Plus

NPC Plus sits within the School of Pharmacy at Keele University and operates within a unique partnership between the National Prescribing Centre and Keele University. Its key function is to improve patient care by supporting effective prescribing and medicines management in the broadest sense by:

• Supporting individuals with prescribing and medicines management
• Promoting the concept of concordance and shared decision-making as approaches for helping patients get the most from their medicines
• Providing individuals with knowledge and skills to make good clinical and cost-effective prescribing decisions involving patients
• Helping organisations to understand and implement medicines policy and re-design services where appropriate, to implement sustainable change
