About
Rx-info was founded in 2003 by Colin Richman, a pharmacist who was working within the NHS.
Colin recognised the pressing need for current and relevant data and information to enable medicines usage to be closely monitored for quality, safety and cost. Based in Exeter, Devon, Rx-info continues its programme of research and development to respond to the requirements of Chief pharmacists and NHS Hospital Trusts. Our company ethos is to help primary and secondary care professionals work quickly, efficiently and with expert data and reports to ensure best practice throughout the industry.
Our Team
Colin Richman, BPharm (Hons) MRPharmS FFCI, Company Director
Colin founded Rx-info in 2003. As a pharmacist working in the NHS, he was struck by the need in the system for first-rate information that was easy to get hold of – not in two months’ time, but now. Casting around for the software that would provide what he needed, he discovered there wasn’t any. So he started developing it himself.
