"Collaborative working has been key to the successful launch of the electronic prescription service in Wales", says Digital Health and Care Wales.

The Digital Medicines Transformation Portfolio (DMTP), which is hosted by Digital Health and Care Wales, has worked closely with EMIS and other key partners in the NHS and industry to deliver the electronic prescription service in Wales in just 20 months.

Dr Shaun O’Hanlon, EMIS Group Chief Medical Officer, said:

“We are absolutely delighted to have been able to support the Welsh Government’s commitment to digitalise prescriptions with our technology. 
 

We’ve worked closely with the teams at Digital Medicines Transformation Portfolio to implement the new electronic prescription service and we’re delighted to hear from practice staff and patients alike that the new service is already starting to save time and provide a better service for patients.

Dr Shaun O’Hanlon

EMIS Group Chief Medical Officer

"The project also includes tech to support further development and the introduction of smartcards for Wales too, which represents a big step in the digitisation programme."
