🎉 We’re celebrating a decade of innovation with #FDBOptimiseRx! 🎉 Ten years ago, FDB launched #OptimiseRx – a pioneering medicines optimisation solution that has since grown into a market leader, covering millions of patients across the UK. Designed to provide patient-specific guidance at the point of care, OptimiseRx is deeply integrated into the prescribing workflow of the clinical system and combines national guidance with locally authored formularies and policies. Over the years, feedback from clinicians has been pivotal in shaping OptimiseRx into the solution it is today… and we’re excited for what’s next as we focus on continuous innovation and positive impacts on patient care! 🚀 We reflect on this incredible journey with insights from some of our team, Phil Verplancke (Product and ITS Director) and Polly Shepperdson (Partnerships and Alliances Manager).

💖 October is Cholesterol Awareness Month! 💡 Did you know that lipid management is crucial for preventing cardiovascular disease and a national priority for the NHS? That's because cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of disability, morbidity and health inequalities, costing the NHS up to £7.4 billion a year. 🔍 With #FDBAnalyseRx, primary care teams can quickly surface patients who could benefit from lipid lowering therapy and identify the appropriate course of action based on guidance. 📖 Our latest #AnalyseRx case study highlights how the team at Vertis Health PCN are utilising our next-level medicines optimisation solution to reduce cardiovascular risk. They were able to increase the percentage of patients on an appropriate lipid lowering therapy for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease to 95%, improving patient safety and achieving maximum points for the CHOL001 QOF indicator!
