THE UK Medicines and
Healthcare Products regulatory
Agency has announced that
effective today GPs will be able to
report suspected adverse drug
reaction reports directly from their
practice software.
A program called SystmOne,
used in 1100 practices across the
UK, now interacts directly with the
MHRA database to quickly share
information with the regulator “for
effective drug safety monitoring”.
Other software makers are
expected to integrate similar
systems, with MHRA Director of
Vigilance and Risk Management of
Medicines, Dr June Raine, saying
the move would “enable earlier
detection of any potential drug
safety issues, allowing the MHRA to
take prompt action to protect public
health”.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 04 Nov 10 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 04 Nov 10
