Introducing
Point-of-dispensing governance software that creates an auditable record of every item your pharmacy dispenses.
IRIS gives your pharmacy a verified, auditable record of every item dispensed — from barcode and 2D code capture, through pharmacist sign-off, to a complete evidence trail ready for any GPhC inspection.
No contract. No obligation. Just honest feedback.
Introducing
Point-of-dispensing governance software that creates an auditable record of every item your pharmacy dispenses.
GPhC expects pharmacies to demonstrate robust clinical governance — including near miss recording, accuracy checking, and a documented dispensing process. For most pharmacies, that still means paper forms, manual logs, and hoping nothing gets lost before an inspection.
Near miss logs get misfiled, paper forms are illegible under pressure, and audit trails have gaps that are only discovered during an inspection — when it's too late.
Your PMR system records the prescription — not what physically left the pharmacy. There's no image evidence, no per-dispenser accountability, and no record of what the pharmacist actually checked.
Automated dispensing systems start at £80,000. They work for large-volume pharmacies — but most independent and group pharmacies need governance, not robotics.
IRIS sits at the dispensing bench and creates a verified, timestamped record at every stage — without slowing your dispensers down.
The dispenser scans the pack — both the standard barcode and the 2D DataMatrix (where present). IRIS verifies the item against the national medicines database and confirms it matches the prescription, capturing batch and expiry data along the way.
Once the pharmacy label is applied, the dispenser photographs the labelled pack. This creates a timestamped image record — exactly what went into the bag, with the label clearly visible.
The pharmacist reviews items flagged for clinical oversight, approves or escalates as required, and signs off the prescription. The complete audit trail is logged automatically — no paperwork required.
IRIS is dispensing governance and compliance software. It provides an auditable record of the dispensing process to support pharmacist sign-off, near miss recording, and GPhC inspection readiness. IRIS does not make clinical decisions — that responsibility always rests with the responsible pharmacist.
Every dispensing event is timestamped and logged — from prescription received to patient collection. Searchable and filterable. Ready when you need it.
Any item that isn't dispensed requires a mandatory reason — captured in the system, not on a sticky note. Near misses are logged automatically in the audit trail.
Evidence of accuracy checking and near miss recording — on demand, for any date range. Walk into your next GPhC inspection knowing your records are complete and searchable.
Photographs are captured at the dispensing bench — the pack before labelling and after. Images are stored securely and accessible only to authorised pharmacy staff.
Separate pharmacist and dispenser views. Dispensers work their queue; pharmacists review, approve, and access the full audit trail. Roles enforced server-side — no workarounds.
Every scanned item is checked against the national dm+d medicines database — covering 185,000+ licensed packs, GTINs, and product identifiers. Updated weekly.
Pharmacists only see what needs their attention — unrecognised items, escalations, and items requiring clinical judgement. The routine is handled automatically, so oversight stays focused.
All captured images are encrypted at rest and served only to authenticated staff. No patient images are ever accessible without a valid session. Built for GDPR compliance from the ground up.
Correctly handles both generic (VMP) and brand-specific (AMP) prescriptions. Any compliant brand is accepted for generic scripts; brand-specific scripts require an exact match — exactly as the prescription intends.
Reads both standard product barcodes and 2D DataMatrix codes — capturing batch, expiry, and serial data on every dispense without slowing the dispenser down. One scan, full record.
Run a single pharmacy or a group of branches from one platform. Each site keeps its own queue, users, and audit trail; head office sees the full picture across the group.
Every dispensed item is automatically reviewed against what the prescription asked for. Discrepancies are surfaced for the responsible pharmacist — no manual sampling, no spot checks left to chance.

We're offering a free 6-month pilot to a small number of independent pharmacies. No contract. No obligation. In return, we ask for honest feedback and — if IRIS works for you — a reference.
Apply for a pilot placeDispCheck Ltd is a UK software company focused entirely on compliance and governance tooling for community pharmacy. We're not trying to replace your PMR system — we're filling the gap it leaves at the point of dispensing.
IRIS is our flagship product, purpose-built for the UK regulatory environment. It links into the NHS national medicines database and is designed around the workflows and responsibilities of your dispensing team — not bolted on top of them. Captured images are encrypted at rest and only ever served to authenticated staff.
We believe every UK pharmacy should be able to demonstrate robust dispensing governance without needing a £80,000 dispensing robot or a full-time compliance officer. IRIS makes that possible for independent and group pharmacies alike.
Whether you're interested in the free pilot, want a walkthrough of IRIS, or just want to ask a few questions — we'd love to hear from you.
