Rx–Info Ltd and the NHSBSA (Business Service Authority) have been working together for many years to establish a centralised data capture for the secondary care ePACT data.
Together, we are pleased to announce that the centralised capture and load to the Rx–info systems will take this evening!
Please note that the system will be down from 17:00 18/01/2023 until 08:00 19/1/2023 to allow for the update and data to be processed. Reporting will not be available during this time.

In an important new report by Richard Hey, BPharm (Hons), Trust Chief Pharmacists and medicines procurement specialists say that Rx–info’s software has been recognised by NHS colleagues as a key resource supporting them through the COVID–19 pandemic response, and believe on–going access to that software will be essential to manage future medicines supply–chain issues. Richard, a Fellow of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and former Chief Pharmacist for Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, has evaluated how medicines optimisation data, designed and supplied by Rx–info, is used in NHS hospitals. His report, Defining moments: COVID, Brexit and Antimicrobial Stewardship; An evaluation of how Rx–info software supports the NHS, is now available.
