Datapharm is excited to announce its partnerships with recognised institution in German healthcare, Rote Liste, and European member organisation in Pharma, MILE.
SURREY, UK: 2 October 2024:
Datapharm, a leading provider of medicines information in the UK, is excited to announce the expansion of its partner network into Europe. Datapharm has established a new partnership with Rote Liste, a leading provider of medicines information in Germany, and strengthened its collaboration with Medical Information Leaders in Europe (MILE). These strategic partnerships will improve the quality and accessibility of vital medicines information for healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients in Europe.
Datapharm operates the electronic medicines compendium (emc), a trusted online resource for HCPs and patients which has over 85 million visitors annually. It hosts non-promotional content from more than 320 global pharmaceutical companies, providing up-to-date information on medicines licensed for the UK. These new partnerships will extend Datapharm’s reach, making its comprehensive medicines information available to HCPs and patients across Europe.
As part of this international expansion, Datapharm and Rote Liste will provide search functionality for Scientific Response Documents (SRDs) to HCPs in Germany. The partnership has already secured contracts with four world-leading pharmaceutical companies. These agreements mark a significant milestone in Datapharm’s mission to support HCPs in delivering informed and effective patient care globally.
In addition, Datapharm has agreed to enhance its partnership with MILE by making weblinks to emc available on migateway (www.migateway.eu), a centralised medicines information resource for Europe. This collaboration will enable more HCPs to easily access medicines information they can trust from an independent, one-stop-shop. This is the next step in an exciting partnership aimed at helping Pharma improve their engagement with HCPs and patients across Europe, ultimately improving patient safety.
Rich Cooper, CEO of Datapharm, commented: “Establishing key partnerships in Europe is a pivotal step in our mission to improve the accessibility of medicines information on a global scale. By leveraging our combined expertise, we can offer HCPs an unmatched resource while supporting pharmaceutical companies in making up-to-date safety information on their products available 24/7.”
Stefne Pienaar, President of MILE, added: “MILE is proud to support this innovative collaboration. Datapharm’s expansion into the global market and the enhanced integration with migateway will further accelerate our goal of ensuring HCPs have access to comprehensive and accessible medicines information across Europe and beyond.”
Tobias Beer, CEO of Rote Liste, stated: “Our collaboration with Datapharm marks a significant milestone in our shared mission to equip healthcare professionals with the essential resources they need to deliver the highest quality care to their patients.”
