Trust Policy for Free of Charge (FOC) Medicines Schemes (P109)
This policy is to ensure consistent, equitable and robust consideration of any free of charge (FOC) scheme that DCHS clinicians would like to be considered for use within DCHS, in line with the National guidance on FOC schemes. Including the requirement for consideration of schemes within Derbyshire for system approval prior to use within DCHS by the Derbyshire Joint Area Prescribing Committee. Where the medicine is currently commissioned by NHS England Specialised Commissioning, ICSs should discuss all FOC schemes with their regional specialised commissioning team in the first instance, before a decision is made on whether to implement the FOC scheme.

EPS enables community prescribers to transfer prescriptions electronically to the patient’s nominated pharmacy via the Spine which can then be collected without the need for a paper prescription.
