pharma.wiki is a resource centre for everyone working in UK pharmacy and private healthcare: pharmacists and their teams, technicians, clinicians, founders and operators, and the people just getting started. Every article carries a named author, a publication date, a last-review date and references. This page explains who we are, how the editorial process works, and who pays for it.
Operators in this sector are served two kinds of writing: regulator publications, which are authoritative but not operational, and marketing content, which is operational but not trustworthy. pharma.wiki sits in the gap. We write the guidance we needed when we were building: what the rules actually are, what they mean in a working pharmacy or clinic, and where the traps sit, referenced back to the primary sources so you can check us.
Every article is written by a named person whose role and credentials are stated. Nothing is ghostwritten, and nothing is published without accountable human authorship and review.
Clinical, regulatory, compliance and market content is written by registered healthcare professionals writing within their own field. Technology, software and operational content may be written by specialists who are not healthcare practitioners, and every article of that kind is reviewed before publication by a registered pharmacist. The byline and review banner on each article state exactly who wrote it, what they are, and who reviewed it.
Claims are made against primary sources: legislation, regulator guidance and standards, and official publications. Where a position is our professional judgement rather than a stated rule, the writing says so.
Every article shows when it was published and when it was last reviewed. Articles covering fast-moving areas sit on a shorter internal review cycle, and a material change in guidance triggers an update rather than waiting for one.
If we have something wrong, tell us and we will check it, fix it and note the correction on the article. Email hello@pharma.wiki.
pharma.wiki is published by the publisher of pharma.wiki, a UK healthtech company that builds websites for pharmacies and clinics and licenses Dataforge PMR, a patient medication record platform. That relationship funds this site, and we would rather declare it precisely than let you infer it:
Articles whose subject overlaps with something our publisher or Dataforge PMR does end with a clearly marked panel saying exactly that. The editorial body of an article states the rules and the practice; the panel is where the pitch lives, and the boundary between the two is deliberate.
Our software buying guides state vendor-neutral criteria any reader can score any system against, including ours, and our product answers include the limitations and dated roadmap items a buyer should know. We hold ourselves to the vendor-candour standard we tell readers to demand.
The site carries no third-party advertising, no sponsored content and no affiliate links. Nobody pays to appear in an article, and no manufacturer, wholesaler or service provider has editorial input. Readers who want to support the site directly can do so through our Patreon page, which helps fund the review cycles that keep articles current; supporting us does not buy coverage or editorial input either.
Everything on pharma.wiki is general guidance for healthcare professionals and operators. It is not legal, regulatory, clinical or financial advice, and it is never treatment guidance for patients. Rules, guidance and market conditions change; check the current publications of the relevant regulator and take professional advice on your own circumstances before acting on anything you read here.
Editorial matters, corrections and article suggestions: hello@pharma.wiki. Practising professionals interested in writing for the site should use the same address, with a note on their field and registration.
