Only Order What You Need Campaign (OOWYN)
OOWYN Campaign :
ICB Local Enhanced Service to complement its ICB’s OOWYN campaign
that is being run in Summer 2024.
This main aim of the OOWYN campaign is to reduce the number of unnecessary repeat
prescriptions ordered by patients. Pharmacies taking part will :
Exhibit posters and other Gloucestershire OOWYN resources within the community
pharmacy until at least 30th November 2024.
Stop ordering repeat prescriptions on behalf of patients.
Train staff about the use of NHS App so they can confidently signpost patients.
Develop and implement a process within the Community Pharmacy whereby staff
automatically advise patients how many items are in the bag and check to see if that was
what the patient was expecting.
The Community Pharmacy will need to complete a brief form on PharmOutcomes
confirming they have complied with the requirements of this Enhanced Service to
Gloucestershire ICB before payment.
