    ProScript Connect saves pharmacist up to four hours in Care Quality Pharmacy

    Read more

Solent Pharmacy is embracing new ways of working to support growing demand for clinical services. As one of the first sites to pilot EMIS X®, this pharmacy is using our modern, cloud enabled system to complete clinical checks online, with the flexibility to work remotely while staying connected to the dispensary workflow. This approach has freed up time and capacity to focus on delivering clinical services, while continuing to provide safe and consistent patient care.

Like many pharmacists, Hashim Chowdhary now spends much of his day delivering patient care outside the dispensary. By using EMIS-X, he can now carry out clinical checks remotely whilst maintaining near real‑time visibility of dispensing activity, ensuring the pharmacy remains supported even when he isn’t physically on site.

It allows pharmacists to focus on services. Pharmacy is changing — it’s not just about dispensing anymore.”

Supporting the team, wherever needed

Solent Pharmacy currently uses EMIS‑X for one day a week of remote working, with Hashim logging on from home for several hours at a time. During these sessions, he can complete clinical checks, support the team during peak periods and prevent backlogs from building.

With EMIS-X I can log in remotely, clear a backlog and give the team a hand.”

Just as importantly, EMIS‑X gives Hashim a clear view of how the dispensary is coping. Clear dashboards show prescription queues and items awaiting processing, allowing him to quickly assess workload and intervene early if pressure is building.

It gives me peace of mind. I can log in, see how things are going, and tell straight away if the team is really busy.”

From a management perspective, this insight helps prevent issues from escalating, supporting smoother day-to-day operations. As Hashim explains, “from a manager’s point of view, it’s really good.”

Easy to adopt, easy to trust

A modern, user‑friendly design sits at the heart of EMIS‑X, helping pharmacists feel comfortable and confident using the system straight away. With access to full PMR history and clear clinical warnings, EMIS‑X supports confident, informed decision‑making when working remotely — without adding complexity.

If you’re focused on services and want to support remote working, you need something like this in your pharmacy.”

Built for modern pharmacy

As Solent Pharmacy continues to grow, EMIS‑X is providing the flexibility, visibility and reassurance needed to support pharmacy teams and patients alike — helping pharmacies embrace service‑led care while staying in control of everyday operations.
