For more than 14 years, Spirit Health has proudly served as an independent service provider to the NHS. Specialising in close collaboration with NHS Medicines Optimisation teams, Spirit Health offers a wide range of products and clinical services that deliver cost efficiencies and improvements in patient outcomes. Spirit Health has many examples of lasting partnerships which support the NHS to achieve its priorities.
Active Implementation is the service that lies at the heart of Spirit Health’s commitment. This involves providing the resource needed to carry out the prescribing changes desired at primary care level. This ensures that the hard-pressed general practice and pharmacy workforces aren’t distracted or burdened further while integrated care boards (ICBs) benefit from quickly realising the outcomes of their review services.
While Spirit Health offers Active Implementation across most therapy areas, it also has its own product portfolios that are available for ICBs to take advantage of. These products are of high quality but also provided at a cost-effective price to enable the NHS to save money. At the centre of this offering is Spirit Health’s SimpleTM wound care range. By prescribing the wound care range, it could result in annual prescribing savings of over £18m across the NHS.*
