Follow On Project - Digitalising Pharmacy Services

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We are a Bristol based health-tech company that has developed a technology solution for the pharmacy market. Our product, Titan, transforms the way prescriptions are dispensed, introduces efficiencies and creates a new digital platform for the future of pharmacy.The Company was awarded an Innovate loan in February 2018 for the development of its system. The Company has successfully delivered and completed all of its project milestones including the approval of Titan by NHS Digital for Electronic Prescription Service in August 2019, making it the first new pharmacy system (known as a PMR) for the sector in over 15 years.Titan has now been implemented into 70 'Trailblazer' community pharmacies across England and Wales. Our product has also attracted the attention of large corporates looking for a strong platform to enable their growth. Our Enterprise model has been successfully implemented into Echo Pharmacy, the fastest growing pharmacy in the UK, and MWI, the largest veterinary supplier. Titan is now processing over 1 million prescriptions per month which represents around 1% of all prescriptions dispensed in England and Wales.Whilst Titan continues to attract progressive businesses, the ongoing pandemic has affected our ability to penetrate the core independent community pharmacy sector. The priorities for most high street pharmacies have shifted due to Covid-19 and so are now demanding solutions that support their immediate challenges.With additional support from Innovate UK we plan to develop a wide range of new game-changing Apps, delivered as extensions on the Titan platform. The new Apps will help address the immediate challenges that pharmacies are facing as a result of Covid-19 and provide innovative solutions to support their businesses and their patients in the long term.The benefits of our new innovations will not only help pharmacies survive through these difficult times but also help ensure the continuity of medicines supplies in the UK. Crucially, this Follow On project will help Titan exceed its original market penetration as it becomes an attractive product for pharmacy chains as well as independents.
