Omnicell

Here at Omnicell, we provide innovative, automated medication and supplies management solutions to NHS hospitals, private hospitals, care homes and pharmacies. Our solutions help to reduce medication errors, improve patient safety and operational efficiencies so that clinical and care staff can spend more time on face to face patient care.

As 75% of medication errors happen during the administration stage in secondary care¹, it’s vital that Trusts have systems in place that ensure nurses are able to administer the right dose of the right drug to the right patient when they need it. Omnicell’s point of care technology can help provide this safety net.

Omnicell’s point of care clinical workflow technology optimizes medication and medical supplies management, patient care, and pharmacy performance so clinicians can spend more time focused on patient care.
