Welcome to September’s
issue of PS magazine.
September has arrived, ushering in the
back-to-school season for kids and the
onset of a busy period for general practices
everywhere. As we gear up for flu season,
our immediate focus turns to the critical
task of ensuring all our vulnerable patients
are scheduled for their flu vaccinations. It’s
a time of year that demands our utmost
attention and care, ensuring the health and
well-being of those most at risk.
In just a month, we are thrilled to be hosting
our second PSUK Conference + Exhibition
of the year, this time in the historic city of
York. Following the overwhelmingly positive
feedback from our members at the Hinxton
day, we are confident that the attendees
of our York conference will find it equally
beneficial. The insights and connections that
our members gain from these events are
invaluable, and we are excited to be able to
bring the conference to our members in and
around the York area.
Over the past month, we have been diligently
listening to our members and making
significant updates to our propositions to
enhance their value. In July, we launched
PSUK Chat & Help Centre, a new feature
designed to simplify how you communicate
with our team. PSUK Chat & Help Centre
has already proven to be an invaluable tool,
providing quick and easy access to answers
for any questions our members might have.

We have also introduced several important
changes to our PSUK Portal to improve
user experience and efficiency. Members
now have the ability to filter replies by
column headers - giving the opportunity,
for example, to filter on quantity supplied,
ensuring that items that are not coming
in are displayed first. Additionally, there is
now an option to receive email notifications
whenever an over-tariff product is ordered,
as well as the ability to review over-tariff
purchases from the previous month. These
updates are aimed at providing better
oversight and convenience for our members.
In a bid to simplify our services, we have
renamed ‘My Deals’ and ‘APM+’ to Brand
Switch and Generic Switch, and have also
deployed the ability for members to easily
activate and deactivate these features
within the PSUK Portal.
Our updated Profitability and Dispensing
guide now offers not only the most
profitable prescribing options but also
highlights the most cost-effective ones for
the NHS. This dual approach ensures that
our members can make informed decisions
that benefit both their practice and the
broader NHS healthcare system.
And there is even more to come in the next
few months. We are constantly working
on new features and improvements to
further enhance our offerings. Stay tuned
for exciting updates and innovations that
will continue to support and empower our
members!

Managing Director, PSUK.
