Accurx news and insights

Accurx Ambassadors are GPs, practice managers, and practice staff from across the country who’ve already transitioned to a digital-first model of care – and now support other practices to do the same. In this blog, discover what Ambassador sessions involve and how to get the most out of them.

South Yorkshire ICB, in partnership with Community Pharmacy South Yorkshire, identified that both GPs and Pharmacies in the area were overwhelmed with the communication between care settings. With multiple channels used for communication, frequent delays, and miscommunications around out-of-stock medications, the team sought to make this more efficient, collaborative, and facilitate better relationships between these Primary Care teams. By onboarding all local pharmacies to Accurx, a secure NHS-approved communication platform, they streamlined messaging, improved medication management, and enhanced patient care outcomes. This case study outlines how they achieved it and offers a model for replication.
