Any service implementing Buvidal for the first time, will need to consider the following key steps before starting to administer the treatment.

• Business case development, if required
• Pathway design
• Formulary submission
• Protocol development
• Staff engagement and training
• Patient identification
• Product supply and storage

At Camurus, we can provide support and guidance to help you through this process. We’ve already worked with many services across the UK and can share their experience and best practice to help you manage and implement Buvidal, whilst being mindful of the resource constraints many services are under.

With this in mind, we’ve developed some simple tools to help you project manage, including an Implementation Checklist and Project Tracker, which you can download and then adapt to your own requirements.

If you’re involved in the commissioning of drug treatment services, we can also support you with education and data to support your decision-making. We have practical tools such as Business Impact Models and have also collated examples of best practice in commissioning from around the country, in the hope that these innovative approaches can help commissioners and providers elsewhere, better serve their local populations.
