eMAR software for care homes and other care settings
eMARx is an electronic medication administration record (eMAR) system for residential care homes, nursing homes and supported living services.
Replace paper MAR charts with electronic administration records. Staff can scan medication barcodes, record doses and check stock. Managers can review administration records, stock movements and staff activity.
Designed to work offline
Move to an electronic MAR without planning your rounds around Wi-Fi.
eMARx was designed to give you the flexibility of paper: keep your device in the medication room or take it around your care setting.
You don’t need an internet connection to log in and start administering medication.
Saved administration records remain on the device, even if it’s switched off, ready to sync when you reconnect.
Developing eMARx since 2013
Large, recognisable picture buttons help staff find each task, with familiar MAR rows, staff initials and outcome codes.
Follow medication from pharmacy supply and booking-in through administration, returns and disposal, with histories showing stock movements and who recorded them.

Frequently asked questions
Find out how eMARx supports medication rounds, connects with your existing systems and helps your team get started.
What is an eMAR system?
eMAR stands for electronic medication administration record. It provides a digital way to record medication administration. eMARx combines barcode scanning during medication rounds with stock auditing, alerts and reporting. It is used in residential care homes, nursing homes and supported living services.
Can an eMAR work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. With eMARx, staff can log in and administer medication without an internet connection. Saved administration records remain on the device, even if it is switched off, ready to sync when it reconnects.
Offline capability varies between eMAR providers. If you’re comparing systems, check whether you can both log in and record medication administration without an internet connection.
Can eMAR software replace paper MAR charts?
Yes. Staff record medication administration in eMARx instead of signing a paper MAR chart. The on-screen record uses familiar MAR rows, staff initials and outcome codes. Barcode scanning and on-screen prompts help staff check medication during a round.
Can we use eMAR with our existing pharmacy?
You may be able to keep your current pharmacy. eMARx connects to many pharmacy systems, and your pharmacy does not need to be on our map to work with us. Tell us which branch you use and we’ll check the arrangements with them before you switch.
How can we find a pharmacy that works with eMAR?
Search our pharmacy finder by town or postcode. The map shows pharmacies and branches already sending medication data to eMARx.
Where a pharmacy has confirmed that it serves your area, we show this separately. Being nearby does not necessarily mean a branch delivers to your address, so contact the pharmacy to check.
Can eMAR connect to our care planning software?
Yes. eMARx connects to CareDocs, Fusion, Nourish, Person Centred Software, PredicAire and Ablyss.
When staff record medication as given in eMARx, an acknowledgement is sent to the connected care planning system. You can see the supported systems on our care planning integrations page.
Can eMAR help with medication stock and ordering?
Yes. eMARx records stock movements when medication is booked in, administered, returned or disposed of. Staff can review stock histories, and managers can receive daily reports with low-stock warnings. Medication order charts can also be sent directly to the pharmacy.
What training is included with an eMAR system?
eMARx includes guided training videos, Quick Reference Guides and online assessments through the Learning Hub. Laptops supplied by eMARx also have a practice version of the system, so staff can try the tasks shown in the videos.
Live online and on-site sessions with a trainer are available at an additional cost. See our training options.
What support is available when switching to eMARx?
We remotely supervise medication Check-In for your first and second cycles.
On your first day using eMARx, we stay on a Teams call throughout the morning medication round. If you need to give early-morning medication, we’ll try to arrange the call to cover that first round at the time you need.
Staff should complete training before going live, either in person, remotely or through our guided training videos.
Telephone technical support is available from 7am to 9pm, 365 days a year. You’ll speak to a real person, and we can connect remotely to your device to help while you’re on the phone.
