For Northern Irish Pharmacies FMD requirements have not changed and they must continue to verify and decommission their “2D” barcoded pack Safety features.
The “ NI Protocol” required that NI must have serialised packs for at least another 4 years until it is reviewed.
Pharmacies in NI must contact SecureMed (www.securemed.org.uk) to ensure that they are Registered with them. Wholesalers supplying NI pharmacies from the UK have 12 months to implement FMD for products they wish to supply.
