Details

This report recommends investment in hubs to produce aseptic injectable medicines in England in order to create high volumes of aseptic pharmacy products which will:

• save time for nursing staff
• enable care closer to home
• produce significant savings

The report was commissioned by the Minister of State for Health to provide advice to the government and NHS England and Improvement (NHSE/I), to regional, system, and trust pharmacy leads, as well as independent sector aseptic pharmacy providers.
