North-East London LPC's SelfCare Pharmacy model has received the ministerial seal of approval, with pharmacy minister Earl Howe saying it €could prove a game changer€.

Newham CCG has commissioned a year-long service from local contractors that involves them drawing up self-management plans for patients with diabetes, mental illness, respiratory disease and CVD, who are referred onto the scheme by their GP.

Regular reviews will be held and pharmacists can signpost patients to specialist agencies and local support programmes like exercise classes.
