Our management and supply service delivers high value, specialised pharmaceutical products to patients on behalf of clinicians.

This enables hospital clinicians to prescribe directly, eliminating the need to involve the patient’s GP who may not have a detailed knowledge of the product or treatment thus reducing their administrative burden. It also removes the motivation for GPs to shift the cost of medicines to the General Medical Services pharmaceutical budget, resulting in more manageable costs and a more efficient supply service. In addition, an increasing focus on clinical governance has removed from GPs the responsibility of prescribing certain complex, high-cost drugs, and placed the burden on PCTs and hospitals to manage this directly. Clinovia is well positioned to support these services.

A single supply source is convenient and cost effective. Product wastage is eliminated and we can reduce costs by negotiating competitive prices with manufacturers. We supply itemised patient invoices and monthly management reports which give managers greater control over their budgets.

Because Clinovia supplies products from all manufacturers, clinicians are free to prescribe the most appropriate product, without limiting their choice of brand.

Patients find it more convenient having medicines delivered to their home, and benefit from the reassurance of having access to pharmacists with a specific knowledge of their treatment.
