Helping GP practices and PCNs to deliver NHS pilot schemes
For GP practices, PCNs, and federations who are chosen through NHSE and ICBs to participate in pilot schemes, we provide the support and guidance to support their implementation and evaluation.
Our team helps with the delivery of NHS-funded trial schemes through rapid mobilisation, strong governance, and data-driven evaluation frameworks. These actions will help to drive enhanced long-term patient care.
How Will This Help My Practice?
Virtual Pharmacist’s clinical team brings service models already running in practices and PCNs, built for efficient delivery. Our support aids the success of the pilot scheme to benefit both practices and patients.
Successful Pilot Model Delivery
We work with commissioners to shape pilot models aligned with local priorities and practical realities. These models have been used to successfully support schemes in medicines optimisation, access improvement, remote clinical services, and long-term condition pathways.
Rapid service mobilisation
Mobilisation and evaluation plans are agreed around the pilot’s scope, system access, governance and availability of baseline data. Our team supports implementation, monitoring and evaluation against the agreed objectives; a pilot’s results cannot be guaranteed.
Clear Reporting and Impact Measurement
For relevant ICB and NHS England reporting, we produce clear, data-rich summaries aligned to NHS expectations and necessary evidencing. Our reporting includes activity, intervention categorisation, safety markers, and patient outcomes.
“The team is consistently reliable. Phones are always answered and emails come back the same day. It’s made a real difference to how we run our medication reviews.”

“Excellent service from start to finish. Easy to reach, quick to reply, and they clearly know NHS workflows inside out. We couldn’t recommend the team more highly.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Are pilots scalable once funding ends?
Yes, we build efficient pilot models that are designed for sustainability. They can be adapted to long-term service delivery, driving greater patient outcomes.
How do you measure and report on NHS pilot scheme success?
We agree clear, achievable KPIs with you at scoping and report against them. Throughout the pilot implementation, we monitor all relevant areas playing a part in scheme delivery and produce a final evaluation report.
