Pipex has entered a reseller agreement with Cegedim, a provider of pharmacy management systems, to roll out ADSL in community pharmacies as part of the NHS’ New National Network, known as N3.
PIPEX has been selected as Cegedim’s partner of choice for N3 connectivity. With almost 50 per cent market share for patient medication records (PMR) solutions, Cegedim is ideally placed to drive the installation of the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS), transported over a secure broadband connection.
The aim of N3 is to provide a fast, reliable network on which to run the new IT systems being delivered by the National Programme for IT. This will make the NHS the first major user of significant broadband capacity in the public sector. The network will also provide the technology to benefit patients by significantly speeding up the transfer of key clinical data between NHS organisations.
