Community Pharmacy
In August 2010 EMIS Group acquired a controlling interest in Rx Systems Limited (known as Rx Systems) which is a software company that develops and supplies computer systems used (as at June 2012) by over 36% of all community pharmacies in the United Kingdom.
Rx Systems is partly owned by EMIS Group plc and partly by Phoenix Group.
Rx Systems supplies computer systems and provides managed network services to community pharmacies in the United Kingdom. Part of that managed service is the support of the respective government agencies' Electronic Transfer of Prescription and associated IT projects. Like other competitor systems, data stored includes all details of a patient's medical history, acute and repeat medication record and increasingly recording other clinical data.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“As blacks, we need not be afraid that encouraging moral development, a conscience and guilt will prevent social action. Black children without the ability to feel a normal amount of guilt will victimize their parents, relatives and community first. They are unlikely to be involved in social action to improve the black community. Their self-centered personalities will cause them to look out for themselves without concern for others, black or white.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
