Company History

ScriptSwitch began life in 2001, entering an extensive period of research and development working alongside GPs in a number of early adopter pilot sites.

During that time the core commercial proposition of the prescribing support software changed significantly as the clinicians demanded more from ScriptSwitch before being installed in the first customer sites.

In 2002 Mike Washburn was appointed as the company’s managing director with responsibility for growing and developing the company. Undertaking a period of reorganisation, during which time Mike recruited a senior team of experienced professionals to provide specialised commercial and operational guidance to the organisation, he put together a significant capital restructuring to enable the business to meet unprecedented demand.

Reinvesting in people, processes, technologies and product development has ensured that ScriptSwitch has maintained pace with medicines management strategies and customer needs; building a dedicated team of people, doubling the number of professional staff and moving to a new purpose designed headquarters building in 2008.

It doesn’t stop there; continued demand for ScriptSwitch drives the Company strategy of adding new medicines management services with plans in place to continue doubling the number of professional staff during the coming years.
