Why remote delivery suits Lincolnshire geography
Lincoln’s practices are commissioned by NHS Lincolnshire ICB, and the city’s networks sit within the Lincolnshire Primary Care Network Alliance. IMP covers much of Lincoln and the villages north of the city, while South Lincoln Healthcare and Lincoln Healthcare Partnership cover other parts of the city.
Geography is the defining feature of primary care here, and it is precisely why remote delivery works so well across this county. A network can span a city practice and a village surgery twenty miles apart, and the same workstream reaches both to the same protocol, on the same schedule, with no travel time to fund or lose.
The county also has an older population than the England average, which shows up directly in medicines work as more patients on more long-term medicines and more structured medication reviews per thousand patients. Review capacity is one of the most useful things a network here can commission.
What you buy is a managed service: supervision, cover and clinical governance are all held by us. That is the practical difference between this and recruiting for the work yourself, and it is why the workstream keeps running whoever is available in a given week.
What we take off your team
Each of these is a service in its own right. Take one, or take several together.
Structured medication reviews
An older population across the county means more reviews per thousand patients, and more of them complex. That volume is the whole reason this service exists.
Clinical medication reviewsLong term condition clinics
Remote hypertension, diabetes, asthma and COPD clinics, which reach patients spread across the county without anybody funding the travel.
Long term conditionsHigh risk drug monitoring
Monitoring recalls run centrally for the whole network, which is what gives a rural network the same consistency an urban one takes for granted.
High risk drug monitoringCQC and quality searches
Searches run and findings actioned across every site in a network, to one standard, whatever each practice has on that week.

These published figures provide context for medicines services. They describe registered practice populations, not all residents of Lincoln.
QOF 2024/25; indicator 258; 14 practices with data6.71% practice median England: 4.64%; difference: +2.07 percentage points
Source: OHID Fingertips, National General Practice Profiles, using NHS England QOF data. Practices are grouped by postal town extracted from the NHSBSA Prescriber Details address register and matched by ODS practice code. Each local figure is the unweighted median of the available practice percentages; for an even number of practices, the two middle values are averaged. The England figure is the published national prevalence value. Eligible age groups, periods and sample sizes are shown for each measure. The comparison is descriptive: it is not population-wide town prevalence, and no town-level statistical significance has been established. These practices are not a list of our clients.

Reporting by site and in aggregate, so a network can see exactly where its medicines work is concentrated.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have pharmacists based in this area?
Our pharmacists deliver the agreed service remotely from within the UK, working in your clinical system. The service does not require a clinician to be based locally.
Is a remote service harder for a rural practice?
It is usually easier. A patient population spread across villages is no harder for us to cover than a city one, and there is no travel time to fund or lose. In a county the size of Lincolnshire that difference is the whole argument.
Can a whole network commission this together?
Yes. Scoping at network level usually means shared protocols, and audits that run once for every practice in the network.
Do you work with SystmOne as well as EMIS?
Yes, and with Vision and Medicus. Lincolnshire has a strong SystmOne presence and it makes no difference to how the service runs.
How much does it cost?
We quote after a short scoping conversation, tailored to the workstreams you hand over and the size of your list, so the price reflects what you are actually buying rather than a generic rate. There is no obligation attached, and you will get a straight answer on whether the numbers make sense.
