Medisa provides a range of online ordering options for healthcare professionals (HCPs), patients and carers to order information and resources when they need them. The two main ordering options are Medisa.com and Incorporated Medisa sites.

With over 250 materials across 20 practice areas, Medisa.com is a cost-effective channel to distribute existing marketing materials to healthcare professionals and/or patients within the UK.

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

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.

Tip 2 – Re-certification dates. Having the reassurance that only certified materials are available for ordering is crucial for our pharmaceutical clients.

CPG can pro-actively quarantine materials in advance of the re-certification date to prevent the materials from being ordered. The material owner is notified via email and can then provide an updated re-certification date and request for the stock to be un-quarantined or submit a destruction request if the material will not be re-certified.

The assessment analysed the quality of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) management system focusing on 4 key areas: the environment, labour, ethics and sustainable procurement.

Over the next few newsletters, we will be sharing our top tips on effective inventory management and how CPG can help.

Tip 1 – Slow moving stock. It is important that stock is actively ordered to avoid unnecessary storage costs if it is unused.

CPG can monitor inventory movements and notify the stock owner of any stock that hasn’t been ordered within a specific time period.

With the festive season approaching, we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This year, as a thank you to all our customers and as part of our commitment to reduce the impact we have on the environment, CPG has planted 50 trees across the UK through EForests.

With over 53,000 registered users, Medisa.com is continuing to grow and is regarded as a trusted source for healthcare information and resources.

We are delighted with the recent feedback from our users on different elements of our service, from the look and feel of the website and ease of finding information, to the speed of delivery and quality of how orders are packed.

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.

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.

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

Did you know that Pharmisa provides a materials management and ordering system not only for printed materials, but also for digital assets?

Whether materials are physically or electronically stored, the same systems and controls are in place to ensure only certified materials are allocated to the specified contact groups.
