ScriptSwitch has been awarded a Queens Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category, one of the highest business accolades in the country.
Developed in partnership with the NHS, the patented ScriptSwitch system has already saved the NHS more than £15 million in the last 12 months thanks to its innovative, cost effective software designed to make prescribing medicines much easier.
The software solution offers clear and unbiased advice to prescribers, such as GPs and nurses, based on advice from their Primary Care Organisation (PCO). The system is designed to help them make the best possible prescribing decision using the most relevant, accurate and up to date information available – helping to make considerable savings whilst improving the quality of patient care at the same time.
Mike Washburn, Managing Director of ScriptSwitch, said: “We are absolutely delighted, this award is a fitting tribute to the tremendous efforts of our staff for their hard work over the last few years and we will certainly be celebrating this fantastic achievement. It also reflects the continuing loyalty of our NHS customers many of whom we have worked with over a number of years now.
With the national IT Programme under considerable pressure to deliver, ScriptSwitch provides a real local technology win for the NHS by helping to improve patient care whilst at the same time saving money which can then be re-invested in improving other services".
