Digital Medicines specialist group

The Digital Medicines Group has responsibility for assuring that the strategy and decisions taken about professional policy for the organisation and clinical informatics professionally are aligned to pharmacy/medicines.

Welcome to our group!

Welcome to Digital Medicines. The purpose of our specialist group is to be a respected and recognised national voice for Pharmacy/Medicines Informatics and for the informatics needs of all pharmacists and their patients.

Our main goals centre around professionalism and learning and development needs – qualifications, job roles, professional development opportunities and career pathway, as well as engagement with the pharmacy regulator, pharmacy professional bodies, educators and other stakeholders.

If you want to get involved or have any ideas for our forthcoming programme, please get in touch at groups@bcs.uk.

  • Establish pharmacy/medicines expert views and opinions on specific topics and provide pharmacy representation on groups.
  • Provide expert Pharmacy/medicines Informatics input into the development of national standards for pharmacy.
  • Offer professional expertise and guidance to BCS in developing educational opportunities for pharmacy members.
  • Link with other professionals on utilising informatics to optimise medications ensuring this is a multi-professional approach.
