About our associates

Our associates are professionals working at the forefront of excellence across the UK. They work with us to create a national community of practice for medicines optimisation. We train and support over 90 clinicians across the UK from a range of organisations and professions including pharmacists, nurses and doctors.

Our associates work within their organisation and across their local health economy to develop and share ideas and examples of good practice.

Associates are not employed by NICE but have a memorandum of understanding with us.
