                SPOTLIGHT…














                                            Dr. Vicki Trotter, GP at Brampton Medical Practice
                                            in North Cumbria, first qualified as a GP in 2016.
                                            Throughout her career, she has gained extensive
                                            experience working in multiple dispensing practices
                                            during both training and post-qualification phases.
                                            Currently, she serves as the dispensing lead GP at
                                            Brampton Medical Practice, a rural facility dispensing
                                            medication to approximately 71% of its nearly 17,000
                                            patients. The practice operates out of three different
                                            locations across North Cumbria.





                 Transition to PSUK
                 In the spring of 2024, Brampton Medical Practice transitioned to working with
                 PSUK. This decision was influenced by Dr. Trotters’ prior positive experiences
                 with the company at another practice.


                                   “I found that using multiple wholesalers
                                       and suppliers was challenging with
                                    multiple deliveries, so I decided moving
                                    to one mainline wholesaler could have
                                         benefits and was worth trying.”


                 Optimising procurement and increasing profitability
                 PSUK’s extensive market knowledge has proven invaluable in improving
                 procurement processes and enhancing profitability at Brampton Medical
                 Practice. Dr. Trotter frequently reviews the Profitability and Dispensing Guide
                 available on the PSUK website and regularly analyses boost tables provided by
                 Glenn Cullen, their PSUK Account Manager. “These resources have helped our
                 surgery write our first surgery formulary,” she highlighted. Additionally, Glenn’s
                 expertise in MDS schemes has been beneficial in reviewing and optimising
                 deals with suppliers like AstraZeneca and Cheisi, allowing the practice to
                 identify and capitalise on missed opportunities.


                                   “Glenn’s knowledge of the MDS schemes
                                       has been helpful; he has shown our
                                   surgery potential missed opportunities.”
