SCOTTISH MEDICINES CONSORTIUM

The Scottish Medicines Consortium is a committee of clinicians, pharmacists, NHS board representatives, the pharmaceutical industry and the public. Members of the committee consider a broad range of evidence in order to decide which medicines should be accepted for use by NHSScotland. Most of the clinicians have a direct role in patient care, while our three volunteer public partners ensure the views of the Scottish public are taken into account during decision making. This wide mixture of backgrounds ensures decisions are made from a broad perspective. The committee meets once a month... The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) provides advice to NHSScotland about the value for patients of newly licensed medicines.
