The Hi Tech medicines scheme was first introduced in Ireland in 1996. The scheme involves the supply & dispensing of Hi Tech medicines through Community pharmacies.
Accord Healthcare recognises that the increased demand for prescription drugs and new treatments means that there is an ongoing need to deliver meaningful value for money to the state. With this in mind, we have developed a wide ranging portfolio of generic Hi Tech medicines, covering several therapeutic areas, outlined below.
As the generic Hi Tech product is priced up to 60% below the branded product, when you dispense items from the Accord Hi Tech portfolio, you are not only helping to provide a quality treatment for patients, but you are also helping the state to make considerable savings, which allows access to new medicines allowing patients access to treatments they require.
Adverse events should be reported. Reporting forms and information can be found on the HPRA website, or by e-mailing [email protected]. Adverse events should also be reported to Medical Information via email: [email protected] or tel: 0044 (0)1271 385257.
The Hi Tech hub was introduced to all pharmacists by the HSE in March 2018 in an effort to streamline administration of the scheme for pharmacists and to provide enhanced visibility of stock management and spending on this scheme to the HSE. Accord Healthcare & PharmaBuddy created this demonstration video in 2018 when the hub launched to answer any queries you may have in relation to the Hi Tech Hub.
