Jerome Bertin, General Manager of SecurMed, told The Pharmaceutical Journal that “less than half” of UK pharmacies have registered with the UK Medicines Verification System. However, under the European directive, UK pharmacies are required to register with SecurMed and have the hardware in place to scan the 2D barcode that must feature on all new packs of prescription medicine sold in Europe. The delay is thought to be due to uncertainties surrounding Brexit.
