Reducing drug wastage in hospitals by allowing unused medicines to be traded between hospitals

The NHS estimated total spend on medicines in England was approximately £17.4 billion in 2016/17, with the average cost of medicines increasing by 12% year on year since 2010/11. Hospitals account for nearly half of the total NHS spending on medicines, and are estimated to waste approximately £300 million per year, of which at least one third is due to expired or excess medicines.

Many of these ‘excess’ medicines could be used in other hospitals within the NHS but previously there has not been both a reliable and easily accessible platform to facilitate this until SurplusMed.
