This book is a comprehensive guide to all the
important issues in managing a primary care
budget. It will help GPs and other healthcare
professionals to understand and to make the
most effective use of the prescribing allocation.
It gives numerous examples of how savings can
be made, and outlines the resources which are
available.

The purchase of OTC drugs is a real option for
patients, and a new formulary is included which
classifies medicines according to their active
ingredients in much the same way as the BNF does
for prescribing drugs. Other alternatives to
prescribing such as lifestyle changes and
alternative therapies are considered with
examples of where these can be used.

All members of the primary care team, financial
managers and boards members in health authorities,
primary care groups and trusts, and pharmacists
will find it an essential resource.
