ABPI Training

May 2022

Our annual ABPI training took place on 29th March. Provided by Compliance Hub, the training enables us to keep up to date with the changes in the ABPI Code of Practice to ensure both our Pharmisa and Medisa services remain compliant. The training not only provides our teams with an understanding of the code of practice and how it affects our business but also an understanding of how it impacts our customers.

Our membership to Compliance Hub’s Agency Recognition and Training Scheme continues to demonstrate our focus on compliance and commitment to complying with the codes of practice that affect our customers.

List your materials for UK, GB, and/or NI audience on Medisa.com

Medisa.com is a cost-effective channel to distribute existing marketing materials to healthcare professionals and/or patients within the UK.

With the recent changes due to Brexit, Northern Ireland and Great Britain now have different Marketing Authorisations and need different prescribing information. Companies have until 31 December 2022 to change material from EMA to GB/NI licences. But here at Medisa we are prepared and ready to list your items as our site is already designed to accommodate materials for the UK, GB, and/or NI audience.

With over 50,000 registered users, Medisa is a trusted site through which HCPs and patients can order information when they need it. All orders are delivered free of charge, usually within 3 working days. The ordering site offers an easy, compliant way for pharmaceutical and healthcare companies to provide physical and digital items at the point of interest.

Where do healthcare professionals look for information and resources? 

October 2021

So where do healthcare professionals look for information and resources? It’s the question all our clients want to know to make sure their information is accessible and meeting the needs of their customers.

Our recent survey of healthcare professionals who use Medisa helped to shed some light on this. There isn’t just one place they look for information and resources, HCPs look to a variety of credible and relevant sources from the NHS website, pharmaceutical/healthcare company websites, face to face or virtual meetings, events and also Medisa.

With over 50,000 registered healthcare professionals and patient users, Medisa is established as a trusted online source which healthcare professionals and patients can access to request the information they need.

If you have information and resources which you want to make available online contact Laura D’Souza on 01329 245600 to find out how Medisa can help.

E-commerce Order Fulfilment

September 2021

The changing environment which we live in has seen an accelerated shift for a number of retailers and organisations adapting to an e-commerce approach. Over recent months we have continued to develop our fulfilment operation to integrate seamlessly with clients’ e-commerce sites, pick/packing and delivering orders across the UK and Europe.

Orders placed on a client ordering system or e-commerce site are electronically interfaced to CPG, to pick, pack and despatch the order. Delivery may be to a retailer or directly to the end customer.

Clients retain visibility of the order status through daily despatch confirmation files and tracking information. Stock files are generated to update stock levels on our clients ordering system or e-commerce site, to ensure that only available stock displays. For the end customer, a despatch confirmation email and delivery texts provide even greater visibility on the status of their delivery.

For more information, please contact us on 01329 245 600.

What resources do healthcare professionals and patients need?​​​​​​​

August 2021

Our survey completed by healthcare professionals who use Medisa helped us to find out what materials and support items HCPs need for themselves and their patients.

For HCPs, the top three types of materials and support items they would you like easy access to are:

  • Medicines/drug information
  • Online training tools and e-details
  • Demonstration devices and training aids

HCPs feel that the following materials would benefit patients:

  • Support items e.g. injection diaries, sharps bins, training aids
  • Online patient educational tools
  • Medicines/drug information

Help us to meet healthcare professionals’ and patients’ needs.
