NHS Pharmacy Quality Control
Sixteen years of monitoring records that stand up to inspection
WJP Software has built environmental monitoring software for
NHS pharmacy QC since 2009. MRS is used in NHS trusts
including Bradford, Leeds and Stockton, and the people who built
it are still the people behind it.
Our experience in NHS Pharmacy
MRS began with Bradford Royal Infirmary, where we spent 18
months working alongside the QC team to replace a paperbased process. That way of working has shaped everything
since: every feature is built with the people who use it, and data
integrity is designed in from the start, not added later.
Today MRS runs in regional QC laboratories and the aseptic
units they serve, from a single trust to region-wide and countrywide rollouts. This has involved working with our users through National User groups, where we share best practice and learn about whats important to QC laboratories.
Bradford Teaching Hospitals
MRS developed together over 18 months, replacing a paper system. Now support all their customers.

What MRS gives your QC laboratory
An inspection turns on the record: who read the plate, when, against which limit, and what
happened next. MRS records each answer as the work happens, and because it was built for
pharmacy QC rather than manufacturing, it fits how QC laboratories and aseptic units already
work.
A record that stands up to inspection
Every result records who read the plate, when, against which limit and what happened next, in one auditable record. When regional QA or the MHRA asks, the answer is on one screen, not in a folder of paper, and MRS comes with validation scripts to support your validation.Less work between the lab and its units
Units book in their own plates and see their results through MRS Web, are told straight away about any exception, and respond online. Barcode and QR book-in cuts keying errors, so fewer calls, forms and chasing on both sides.Built for pharmacy QC
Developed with an NHS QC team, MRS covers licensed and unlicensed aseptic and radiopharmacy areas, calculates alert levels the way aseptic QA does, and keeps lab management in the same system. It fits how your lab already works.
The MRS Cube
When an inspector or regional QA auditor questions a result, a
number on a form can't show what the analyst actually saw on
the plate, or why a colony was discounted. Once the plate is
gone, so is the evidence.
The Cube photographs each plate the same way every time,
lets the analyst mark what they counted and discounted, and
saves the image with the result, so the evidence stays in the
record. It's priced to come out of a department budget, without
a business case.
Environmental Water Testing (EWT)
Water outlets across a trust are tested routinely, often by
Estates, with the results checked by infection control or
pharmacy. When those results sit in spreadsheets or separate
systems, a failing outlet is easy to miss and trends are hard to
see.
EWT, built on the same foundations as MRS 3, organises every
outlet by site, building and floor. Any result outside its limits
generates an exception report that goes straight to whoever is
responsible for that outlet, results are trended over time, and
every action is audited.
