FIRSTLight is a brand new, unique web-based medicines reference tool which gives healthcare professionals instant access to trusted information on any drug, wherever and whenever they need it. This is a stand-alone product which can be used whether there is a clinical system in place or not.

With a modern, intuitive user interface and powerful search functionality designed by our team of clinical informatics experts, FIRSTLight makes it easy and quick for healthcare professionals to find the information they are looking for.

Packed with features, FIRSTLight is available online or on the move via an iPhone or iPad.

Key features include:

•    How, when and when not to use a medication – ingredients, indications, doses, routes and administration advice.

•    When to avoid using a medication – information about allergies and safety of use with other concurrent conditions, drugs and food.

•    Tests, measures and observations required while using a medication – including what should be done about any resulting changes along with information about managing expected side effects and what to do in cases of over-dosage.

•    Reproduction, pregnancy and breastfeeding advice – including whether taking the medication can affect fertility, relevant recommendations for use of contraception and any risks associated with pregnancy or breastfeeding while taking the medication.

Affordable individual, multiple user and student licenses are available as well as cost effective organisation licenses for healthcare organisations interested in a wider roll-out. A link to FIRSTLight can also be embedded within clinical systems with minimal development required.
