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 over national NHS EPS, or the hospital's own pharmacy - with a pharmacist clinical check built in.

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-routed prescriptions transmit to the patient's nominated pharmacy over the national Electronic Prescription Service - built on the same CIS2 / PDS / FHIR foundations as HomeCare Connects.
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.
Prescriber identity and MFA via NHS CIS2; patient demographics and registered GP verified from PDS. The people and the patient are who the record says they are.
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 non-EPS supply is tracked to completion alongside the community prescriptions - one view of the whole outpatient supply picture.
