Gemscript Drug Dictionary

Vision 3 uses the Gemscript Drug dictionary provided and maintained by another company, RESIP UK.

Gemscript is an integrated dm+d drug dictionary, which means it adheres to NHS standards to provide clear and unambiguous information to uniquely identify the specific medicines and devices used in the diagnosis or treatment of patients. Gemscript is at the heart of improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of Vision 3 prescribing and allows the reliable electronic exchange of information on medicines and devices between healthcare organisations.

Vision have worked closely with RESIP UK on Gemscript, we believe this close working relationship is beneficial to you as we are able to respond more quickly to changes in the availability of pharmaceutical products.
