About PharmScanner

Nothing to install, easy to setup

PharmScanner runs on your computer's existing browser, so you don't need any expensive additional hardware or software, other than 2D barcode readers (if you don't have any yet, we can help with that, too!). We can also help you get set up via phone and email, to minimise disruption to your business.

Minimal disruption to your systems and workflows

Designed by community pharmacists to minimise any disruption to your existing ways of working, and to be as straightforward to use as possible, PharmScanner can make FMD work for you. Aggregate bag labels and aggregate by barcodes to make decommissioning medication at the point of handing out to your patients as simple and fast as possible.

£10 per month for pharmacies/wholesalers/dispensing doctors/GP surgeries/clinics/hospitals with no minimum term contract

As pharmacists, we understand the financial pressures facing community pharmacy, and we're also nice people. That is why PharmScanner costs just £10 per month (discounts are available for groups), and we don't make you sign any minimum term contract. You can stop using PharmScanner at any time without worrying about paying a penalty or a notice period, e.g. in case FMD is no longer required.

Watch our 2-minute tutorial video

Watch the video to see how PharmScanner can be used in your pharmacy or organisation. Depending on your existing procedures, you may prefer to integrate PharmScanner in a different way or at a different point in your dispensing or medication handling process - our system works around you, to ensure minimum disruption and maximum efficiency.

Free FMD SOPs

To make FMD as simple as possible, we have designed these free template FMD SOPs for pharmacies, dispensing doctors, wholesalers, clinics, GP surgeries and hospitals to use. These SOPs cover how to use PharmScanner to comply with your FMD obligations, including verification, dispensing and decommissioning of medication. It also includes different scenarios, including:

  • dispensing into a monitored dosage system (MDS)
  • splitting original packs of medication
  • destroying damaged medication unsuitable for supplying or selling

Our SOPs are completely free to download, use and adapt as necessary to suit your existing or desired workflow. Make sure to subscribe to the PharmScanner newsletter to get notified of any updates to these SOPs, and please feel free to contact us if you want any clarification or want to see anything added or changed!

Recommended 2D barcode scanners

Based on our testing, and taking into account price, ease of use, ease of setup and durability, we can recommend two models of 2D barcode scanners which are fully compatible with PharmScanner.

Both of our recommended scanners are able to be plugged into a USB slot on a computer or laptop. We recommend handheld scanners because (compared to desktop, "supermarket-style" scanners) they are better value, take up less of your valuable desk space, and are more maneuverable (especially for when trying to scan multiple packs of medication).

If you already have a 2D scanner which is not on this list, or want to discuss other options e.g. wireless scanners, please contact us!
