About Smart Pharm

Leading the way in automated, scan-verified dispensing

Smart Pharm was founded to modernise community pharmacy. We were the first pharmacy in the UK to integrate robotic dispensing with advanced medicine-scanning technology, setting a new standard for safety and efficiency.

Our story

Technology that makes every prescription safer

When we started Smart Pharm, we asked a simple question: how can technology make pharmacy safer and faster for patients?

Our answer was to bring robotic dispensing and barcode medicine scanning together in a community pharmacy, which no other UK pharmacy had done before. Robots store and pick medicines with precision, and scanning checks every pack, so mistakes are designed out of the process.

The result is a safer, more efficient service, and pharmacists with more time to spend with patients rather than on shelves.

Our dispensing process

Precision at every stage of dispensing

Every prescription follows a controlled, technology-assisted process, overseen by our pharmacists, designed to minimise the risk of dispensing errors.

Verified on receipt

Each medicine is barcode-scanned on delivery, giving us an accurate, real-time record of our stock.

Secure robotic storage

Medicines are stored by our dispensing robot in a controlled and organised environment.

Clinical check and robotic selection

Each prescription is clinically screened by a pharmacist before the robot selects the prescribed medication.

Scanned, labelled and packed

Every item is scanned against the prescription, then labelled and packed, providing a final layer of assurance before it reaches the patient.

Why it matters

Better for patients, better for pharmacy

Safety

Scanning checks every pack against the prescription, cutting the risk of picking errors.

Speed

Robotic picking takes seconds, so prescriptions are ready sooner and queues are shorter.

Time to care

With robots doing the routine work, our pharmacists have more time for advice and consultations.
