A purpose-built platform for NHS outpatient medicines: prescribe from a wide dm+d formulary, sign once at the point of prescribing, and send each medicine down its most cost-effective supply route (the patient's community pharmacy or the hospital's own pharmacy), with a pharmacist clinical check built in. Built for NHS EPS, currently going through NHS onboarding.

The prescriber signs at the point of prescribing with an advanced electronic signature; the content is SHA-256 locked, so it's tamper-evident from the moment it's created. No separate signing step.
Community prescriptions are built to go to the patient's nominated pharmacy over the national Electronic Prescription Service, on the same PDS and FHIR foundations as HomeCare Connects. EPS is going through NHS onboarding.
A pricing engine compares the real cost of each supply route - national Drug Tariff for the community, the trust's own contract prices for the hospital pharmacy - and recommends the cheapest, showing the pounds saved on every prescription.
Prescribe generically from a wide dm+d-backed formulary (substance → strength → form), with brand an optional pick. Each site chooses its formulary mode: its own curated list, the full dm+d catalogue, or a hybrid.
A pharmacist reviews the prescription and passes-and-sends in one action, or sends it back to the prescriber with a query. The prescriber can amend and re-sign in place - a clean, closed loop with no paper.
Allergy checks, dose-range guards, an off-formulary-dose alert that forces a clinical check, and a clear "unlicensed medicine" badge at both prescribing and checking - the right warning in front of the right person.
Structured dose-escalation schedules for drugs that titrate - each step's dose, frequency and duration held against the drug, so an escalating regimen is prescribed faithfully rather than as free text.
A patient repeat-medicines list with a specialty-scoped worklist that shows what's due - overdue and soonest first - and re-issues a fresh, signed prescription in a click.
Curated order sets tied to a diagnosis drop a whole bundle of pre-configured drug lines into the prescription, editable before signing - faster, more consistent prescribing for common presentations.
Patient demographics and registered GP looked up from PDS. NHS CIS2 smartcard sign-in for prescribers is built and going through NHS onboarding.
Prescribing organisation ODS per specialty, per-specialty days-supply defaults, and specialty-scoped repeats and workflow filters - each clinic sees and manages its own patients.
Medicines routed to the hospital's own pharmacy land in a dispensing worklist, so hospital supply is tracked to completion alongside the community prescriptions - one view of the whole outpatient supply picture.
