The aim of medicines optimisation is to help patients:

  • improve their outcomes
  • take their medicines correctly
  • avoid taking unnecessary medicines
  • improve medicines safety


Ardens provide reports to assist w drug optimisation, for example:

  • CVDPP: ?Start statin as QRISK2/3>10% + age <84
  • HF: ?Increase B-Blocker as below target dose (+ no MTT recorded)
  • AF: ?Start anticoagulant as CHADsVASc=1 + Male (no allergy/decline/unsuitable)
  • CKD: ?Consider finerone as CKD 3 or 4 + recommended by NICA TA
  • DM2: ?Start SGLT2i as age >=40y + QRISK >10%
