Frequently Asked Questions

EPS falls outside of the scope of CfH’s Electronic Prescription Service, as this is only relevant to England.

pharmaSys™ is being offered to the community pharmacist effectively for free. We take care of the N3 connection on your behalf and manage all the electronic prescriptions messaging. For this we wish to collect £200 per month, which is in turn reimbursed to you by your PCT. We do not have an initial installation cost or a monthly cost for the software. For further details on cost, please see the Pricing section.

pharmaSys™ will be available for installation at the beginning of November 2007. Please watch the latest updates page on this website for this information or register on the site and we will update you on our progress.

pharmaSys™ will arrange for you to be connected with an approved N3 supplier.

All we ask is that we provide the pharmacy with an N3 connection and are allowed to sell the dispensing data in the same way your current supplier does. 

Due to the technology used in pharmaSys™ and automating all our processes, our overheads are much lower than our competitors. We are able to make this highly competitive product offering and believe it will more than match your expectations.

No, the price of our N3 connection is £200 per month, which matches the funding you will receive from the NHS.

No, pharmaSys™ is a fully functioning pharmacy management system. pharmaSys™ has been developed with community pharmacists to ensure that it fully meets the needs of a modern pharmacy practice.

Whilst pharmaSys™ has been developed using the latest technologies it does not require the latest PC to run the application. pharmaSys™ runs in a web browser and any other software that is required, such as Adobe Flash can be downloaded from the web site. We have tried to make sure that the software will run on a PC that has been bought in the last 4 years that has at least 500Mb of RAM and an internet browser. This should allow pharmaSys™ to run using current hardware and not involve the expense of upgrading.
