GOSH Study: Tablet Savings for NHS

Experts from Great Ormond Street Hospital conducted a study revealing that children as young as seven with congenital hyperinsulinism can successfully switch from liquid Diazoxide to more cost-effective and preferred tablet forms. This change could save the United Kingdom — National Health Service approximately £40,000 per patient annually. The study, co-led by Antonia Dastamani and Kate Morgan, also highlighted significant improvements in the quality of life for patients like Jess Manktelow, who found tablets easier to take and manage. Great Ormond Street Hospital plans to further assess the viability of this switch for children as young as four, potentially leading to broader changes in medication administration within the United Kingdom — National Health Service.
