Project Highlights
Collaboration Scope: 65 practices across the Integrated Care Board (ICB) participated in the project.
Patient Reviews: 2,540 patients were identified and reviewed in line with NICE and local guidelines.
- 759 patients had their ONS changed.
- 74 patients had their ONS stopped.
Impact and Outcomes
The review generated an estimated £397,887 in annual cost savings and significantly increased practice adherence to preferred ONS from 18.8% to 50.13%. Notably, while ONS costs have grown by 16.75% across England, in Leeds, the increase has been limited to just 3.01%. In addition, patient and stakeholder was positive, with patients appreciating the opportunity to discuss their treatment needs.
