Specialist advisory services
These standards apply to all designated specialist advisory services listed in the UKMi directory. MICs wishing to provide a new specialist advisory service should demonstrate a need for the specialist advisory service by presenting a 'business case' to the UKMi Executive. Services should be introduced based on need, rather than an individual’s interest in a subject.
Specialist service (e.g. renal, dental):
Risks of non-implementation Lack of high quality service delivery. Inadequate knowledge and skill set for
advanced practice No sharing of good practice, research findings
or service developments with other MI centres in the UK or further afield.
Potential outcomes if not implemented Service does not fulfil the needs of its users MI is not valued nationally by Mi colleagues or
the wider service community. No positive publicity for the MI centre/pharmacy
locally or nationally.
