Procedures
Procedure for the introduction of new drugs
The Medicines Management Advisory Group (MMAG) is responsible for the introduction of new drugs into the formulary.
When considering a new entry for the formulary, the primary concern of the MMAG is the clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness compared to existing formulary alternatives, where available.
Where a non-formulary drug needs to be prescribed in the Trust, the "Procedure for the Introduction of New Drugs or Formulary Changes" must be followed. This sets out the criteria and the process for the introduction of a new drug. The procedure is available via the link below:
