From our users:
“Since the introduction of Formeo, we've seen an increase in our formulary compliance. It's meant that we've been able to extend our range of formulary products so that we're actually ticking lots of boxes. So actually we're, we're making sure that we've got the right products at the right time for the right patient.”
Tissue Viability Clinical Nurse Specialist, Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust
“Since Formeo, we've got a wide variety of dressings on the shelf now, which is really good. We're able to access antimicrobials instantly. We don't need to refer to the GP and get a prescription because we can access it on the shelf. We can just take it straight to the patient.”
