Forma-Care UK Drives NHS Savings& Better Patient Outcomes with Value-Based Procurement

DURHAM, U.K. - May 7, 2025 - PRLog -- Forma-Care UK stands out as a proven partner in this shift, delivering not only measurable savings but also significant improvements in care quality and resource management.

Proven Cost Savings for NHS Trusts
Forma-Care guarantees savings for NHS Trusts, with real-world results demonstrating cost reductions of at least 20% when switching to their "same or better" continence product range. In Oldham, Lancaster House, UK, Forma-Care delivered on-the-ground training and education for both residential care homes and NHS district nursing staff, leading to excellent results: improved patient care outcomes and a related cost reduction for absorbent products exceeding 20%.

A standout example is the implementation at Lancaster House, where six months after adopting Forma-Care's approach, the cost of continence wear per patient per day dropped from 72p to 51p-a significant 21p reduction (for patients in nursing homes). This was achieved through several targeted strategies:

• Product Matching: Like-for-like comparisons identified savings of around 20% by choosing more cost-effective alternatives.
• Formulary Revision: Updating the product formulary to include more cost-effective options.
• Training & Education: Comprehensive, specialist-led training empowered staff to prescribe the most appropriate and economical pad.
• Right Product, Right Patient: Optimised product selection - ensuring the right product is used for the right patient, improving both outcomes and efficiency.
• Reduce the Use of Expensive Products: Decreased reliance on higher-cost items such as pull-ups and belted flex products.

These combined efforts led to a more efficient, cost-effective approach to continence care, directly resulting in the observed savings and improved patient outcomes.

Comprehensive Support and Seamless Transition
Forma-Care's dedicated onboarding team ensures an easy transition for NHS Trusts, managing the process from start to finish. The company is already available through the NHS Supply Chain, making procurement straightforward and compliant.
