Version 3.1 of MiDatabank now has the facility to electronically submit an ADR report directly to the MHRA.

By clicking on the button in the top-right, the ADR report is electronically transmitted to the MHRA.

The first electronic Yellow Card (eYC) was sent on 28th February 2011 by the North West Medicines Information Centre in Liverpool.

In September 2011 the UKMI Executive gave approval for the national roll-out of eYC at UKMI centres using MiDatabank version 3.1
 








A recent article in the Clinical Pharmacist Journal explains more about how this is being used in the UK:

MHRA Press Release:

The software has been successfully piloted: All pilot centres have successfully submitted electronic Yellow Card reports to the MHRA using MiDatabank. As a result, UKMI centres have approval from the UKMI Executive and the MHRA to submit electronic Yellow Cards using MiDatabank version 3.1
