The Healthcare industry (sometimes also referred to as the medical industry or the health economy) is essentially made up of three core components: Services, Products and Finance (i.e. medical insurance).
With an annual turnover of over £70 billion, the UK is a world leader in manufacturing and marketing clinical products and pharmaceuticals. Also, there is a thriving care industry covering things such as groups of GP Practices, Care Homes, Domiciliary Care Services etc.
At Smith Cooper, we have many clients who operate in this market and have vast experience dealing with all elements of the care industry.
For our Pharma clients, traceability is king in terms of the source of the product (country of origin) or components and then where that batch was shipped to and all the associated conformity documentation.
For our GP & Care clients, analysis and budgeting by cost centre and the department are always pivotal. There’s also, normally, a requirement to provide non-Sage users with the ability to view budgets and provide purchase requisitions remotely with a full authorisation route and audit trail.
We appreciate that patient-led organisations will often have their own patient management systems specifically designed for their business model. In using our API and third-party software vendors, we have successfully integrated these systems many times. Our experience in the integration of patient management systems means that you will avoid the tedious task of re-keying of data into Sage 200, saving time and massively reducing the margin for error.

We moved to Smith Cooper not long after I joined LOROS in December 2014. They have not only helped us upgrade our Sage 200 product to make us Making Tax digital Compliant but also helped us successfully introduce electronic document management and web based requisition systems that have streamlined our processes and saved the charity money.
