Electronic Transfer of Prescriptions

Pharmacy2U was one of three pilot consortia involved in the national NHS Electronic Transfer of Prescriptions (ETP) pilot project. The other two pilots were being undertaken by a collaboration between Boots and Schlumberger Sema, and Transcript (a division of Lloyds Pharmacies).

Harlow Wood Consulting were commissioned to develop the projects core process management components including an Internet based Patient Interface, an Intranet based Admin and Management Reporting component, and a messaging system to integrate these components with their Eclipse dispensing system and UNIX based 3Ex billing and dispatch management system.

Pharmacy2U was the most successful of the three pilot projects with over 60 GP surgeries and thousands of patients signed up to the scheme. The success of this project resulted in Harlow Wood Consulting being awarded preferred supplier status for Pharmacy2U's software development needs.

Since the pilot Harlow Wood Consulting has continued to help Pharmacy2U to develop their Prescription Management System and is currently helping to integrate their systems with the NHS National Programme for Information Technology (NPfIT).

"Harlow Wood Consulting have worked with us to deliver highly functional, robust and flexible software solutions that have delivered proven value for our company and its customers. We would have no hesitation in recommending them for any future work."
