The North East London (NEL) Formulary and Pathways Group (FPG) is a sub-group of the NEL Integrated Medicines Optimisation and Prescribing Committee (IMOC). The FPG provides a single joint forum for the assessment and approval of new medicines and medicines related pathways, with the aim to decrease duplication, improve equity of access, improve health outcomes and help decrease health inequalities for patients across NEL.
The FPG provides a forum for discussion and decisions on the following:
- Entry of new medicines including prescribable treatments (e.g. appliances/devices closely associated with medicines, contrast medias, oral nutritional supplements/feeds, dressings).
- New indications for medicines.
- Medicines related pathways and guidelines.
- Shared care and transfer of care guidelines.
