There are two main reasons why the SAMS has decided to end its financial commitment. Firstly, in its role as a catalyst, the Academy only funds projects for a limited period of time. Secondly, the development of federal contributions for the period 2025–2028 necessitates budget cuts in certain areas. Until the end of the year, the SAMS will continue to cover two thirds of the licensing costs. Unfortunately, we have not found an institution through our contacts willing to take over this share. If you have any questions or are interested in co-financing, please visit our website for more information and contact details.

The publication of these two lists continues a welcome development: the ASE and PCN-S – in collaboration with the Swiss Pharmacists Association and the Swiss Association of Public Health and Hospital Pharmacists – are two further non-medical health associations that have each compiled a Top 5 list. This clearly shows that there is also a problem of under- and over-treatment in these fields. The associations aim to counteract this phenomenon and to promote knowledge transfer between the various healthcare sectors. All Top 5 lists are available on the smarter medicine website (French or German).
