A slightly different pace across primary care today.

Some practices closed.
Some services running differently.
Pharmacies open on reduced hours.

But care is still happening.

To everyone keeping things moving behind the scenes - thank you.

Enjoy the break where you can. đź’™

We’re proud to be sponsoring the Primary Care Partnership Network event this May.

It’s a great opportunity to step out of the day-to-day and have the conversations that really matter - around workload, medicines optimisation, and how services are actually delivered across PCNs.

If you’re attending, come and find us.
We’d love to hear what’s working, what’s not, and where the pressure really sits right now.

Earlier this week, our senior leadership team came together for our monthly fuddle.

It’s always valuable to step away from the day-to-day and have conversations in a more informal setting - the kind where ideas flow a bit more freely and you get to connect beyond the usual agendas.

Great to also have those who couldn’t be there in person join via Teams.

Moments like this really matter. They help keep everyone aligned, connected, and moving in the same direction.

A small change with a noticeable impact for primary care.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved a European-first switch allowing fluticasone propionate nasal spray to be supplied over the counter for adolescents aged 12+.

Since February 2026, this means:

• Faster access to effective hay fever treatment for young people
• Fewer GP appointments and prescription requests
• A bigger role for community pharmacy in frontline allergy care

It’s a simple shift, but one that supports access, reduces pressure, and uses the wider system more effectively.

đź’¬ Are you already seeing the impact of this change in practice?

Antibiotic prescribing doesn’t usually feel high risk in the moment.

But it’s the everyday decisions that shape resistance over time.

UTIs are one of the most common examples in primary care.

A few NICE-aligned reminders that still matter:

• Nitrofurantoin remains first-line for uncomplicated UTI (if eGFR ≥45)
• Be mindful of pulmonary and hepatic risks with long-term use
• Always review duration – shorter courses are often just as effective

Antibiotic stewardship isn’t one decision.
It’s consistency across hundreds of them.

April showed one thing clearly: Strategy over effort wins.

The new financial year began with a focus on system design, clear ownership, and proactive governance.

• Teams that clarified ownership early feel more stable.
• Teams that designed review cadence in April won’t chase QOF in March.
• Teams that embedded governance now won’t patch it under pressure later.

May is about embedding these robust systems. What was your biggest structural win this month?

GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic are becoming a bigger part of primary care.

Not just for glycaemic control
but increasingly for weight management too.

Which means more patients, more expectations, and more prescribing decisions to manage safely.

A few reminders that make a difference in practice:

• Start low, go slow to reduce GI side effects
• Set expectations early – nausea and appetite changes are common
• Monitor hydration, especially in higher-risk patients
• Review regularly in line with QOF (Quality and Outcomes Framework) diabetes indicators

Used well, GLP-1s can deliver real outcomes.
But they need structured follow-up to do it safely.

Omeprazole is widely used, but is its long-term use always reviewed properly?

Many patients seek clarity on safety and duration. Providing clear, NHS-aligned advice is crucial for patient safety and medicines optimisation.

3+ years using remote clinical pharmacy support…

“Really impressed with the service.”

That’s from a Practice Manager, not a sales pitch.

Because when it works:
- Medicines queries don’t pile up
- Reviews keep moving
- Pressure doesn’t bounce back to GPs

It just… runs.

đź’¬ Would this work in your practice?

Clinical pharmacists add immense value, but only when deployed effectively.

For PCNs, this means:

âś… Clear scope of practice
âś… Explicit ownership of workflows
âś… Measurable outcomes

This ensures clinical decisions have the right oversight and risk is managed. It’s about maximising impact.

Workforce gaps don’t start with vacancies

By the time a role is vacant,
the pressure has already been building for months.

You’ll usually see it first in:
• Delayed reviews
• Reactive monitoring
• Increasing GP queries

That’s the early signal.

Predictive workforce planning isn’t about forecasting for the sake of it.

It’s about spotting those patterns early
and adjusting before performance drops.

That’s how stable systems stay ahead.

“We just need more capacity” is rarely the answer

If medicines queries keep landing back with GPs…

That’s not a workload issue.
That’s a design issue.

Because good systems:
• Route work clearly
• Hold decisions in the right place
• Don’t rely on escalation to function

Adding more people into a broken workflow
just creates a bigger broken workflow.

The shift isn’t effort.
It’s clarity.
