Prescribing support newsletters aim to inform readers of work done by the unit and work in progress, to help tailor local work plans and highlight any ‘topical’ issues in prescribing or medicines management.

If you have any suggestions for future topics for the newsletter, then please contact nuth.nyrdtc.rxsupp@nhs.net

This month’s edition focuses on Semaglutide for managing overweight and obesity, Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Gene Testing Workshops, a new NHSE short course on working with people and communities, recent publications from the RDTC, and an update on the RDTC prescribing support team attendance at the GNPRC Conference in July 2023. It also includes another in the series of “Meet the Team” where you can get to know the people behind the work we do. There is also information on some key medicines availability, new and updated NICE guidance, and UK product launches.
