What is PharmWeb?

The sheer volume of material now available on the Internet can make the search for specific and reliable information difficult and frustrating. This situation is likely to worsen with time. PharmWeb is the first-stop Internet site for pharmaceutical information. High quality information provided by international professional organisations is delivered by PharmWeb to patients and health professionals using the latest Internet technology. PharmWeb is a well developed and structured site which has been designed to be fully interactive. Information is retrieved and disseminated using several methods including the use of mailing lists, forms, responsive questionnaires and on-line databases.

PharmWeb is the first specialist Internet provider for pharmaceutical and health-related organisations providing a range of services from simple page storage and web site design to an extensive range of Internet services and programming expertise.

PharmWeb Services



Web Space

Pharmaceutical and health-related organisations can maintain and develop their pages on PharmWeb. Restricted access areas can be provided thus enabling access only to authorised users. Unique domain names may be used to access web sites maintained on PharmWeb e.g. http://www.pda.org/ and http://www.pharmweb.net/. If your organisation presently uses a conventional Internet provider and have a registered domain name, we can help you move to PharmWeb with no interruption of service and with no change in domain name. The PharmWeb server is restricted to the use of PharmWeb clients therefore ensuring fast processing and page delivery. PharmWeb also offers a secure server for transactions that require encryption e.g. patient information, credit card details.

Site Design

PharmWeb can design, create and manage web sites. PharmWeb can develop sites which organisations subsequently manage themselves, or alternatively, provide a service where pages are managed and updated by our web authors. Examples of sites designed by PharmWeb include those of the International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC), International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), Pharmaceutical Quality Group, and St. James's University Hospital.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship of certain pages on PharmWeb, such as the PharmWeb Yellow Web Pages and PharmWeb Discussion Forum, enables organisations to profile themselves on one of the busiest pharmaceutical sites on the Internet.

History of PharmWeb

PharmWeb was created and developed as a personal hobby of Prof. A. D'Emanuele in the UK in 1994. PharmWeb was the first hierarchical information resource on the Internet for pharmaceutical and health-related information. Amongst it's many initiatives, PharmWeb developed the first pharmaceutical society pages on the Internet (UKICRS), the first directory of health professionals on the Internet, and broadcast the first pharmaceutical conference live on the Internet. PharmWeb has been reviewed on television, radio, newspapers and the pharmaceutical press and has been recognised as a pioneering initiative. The creator of PharmWeb has published several papers on the Internet and the applications to the delivery of information. Indeed, an article published in early 1995 predicted many of the developments that have taken place on the Internet.

As PharmWeb grew, it attracted much interest from health professionals around the world and several international organisations began to collaborate with PharmWeb to develop pharmaceutical information resources on the Internet. PharmWeb owes much of its success to the support received from major organisations who were keen to use this new communications medium. Organisations such as the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) and the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) sponsored some of the early developments on PharmWeb including on-line databases and Internet discussion groups. Several other organisations have now also joined PharmWeb.

Until recently, PharmWeb was operated with minimal resources and was maintained by Tony D'Emanuele, assisted by John Heaton and Anthony Howarth, in their spare time. This has now changed with the investment of resources into PharmWeb. PharmWeb has developed into a professionally managed Internet provider specialising in pharmaceutical and health related information.
