Healthcare Solutions

Brother is widely known within the Primary Care and other healthcare services mainly for its printing products such as laser printers, all-in-one (multifunction) machines and fax products. However, they have also invested a huge amount of research and development time within the area of prescription and repeat prescription printing solutions with an aim of eliminating the need for a separate product to produce these documents. The extensive research and testing undertaken in Japan used the actual FP10 prescription document and established Brother as the market leader in prescription printing solutions.

This testing enabled a broad understanding of the requirements Doctors surgeries have and allowed Brother to provide an out of the box solution and remove the need for a separate prescription printer. The fact that more than 80 percent of the surgeries in the UK are using Brother printers and all-in-one printers, printing over one million prescriptions every day, is testament to the reliability and durability of Brother printing, document management and communication products.

At Your Side - the Brother philosophy endorses working with customers and is achieved in the following ways:

The Brother range of prescription printing solutions is fully recognised by top clinician software vendors and, by working extensively with leading GP software system suppliers, such as EMIS, iSOFT, INPS, Microtest and GPASS, has allowed them to ensure that all the Brother solutions are compatible with GP prescription printing systems.

Because of this hard work, Brother laser printers and multifunction products are designed to print prescriptions and repeat prescriptions (formats FP10, FP10D and FP10HP) straight from the box and from the universal paper tray without the need for additional adaptors.

Given that the prescription volume is increasing each year, it is vital that NHS customers are provided with the most cost effective printing solutions available. Brother and Fax UK Ltd are pleased to be able to help cut the prescription printing costs of the NHS.
