The PIP code is a unique coding system designed to allow the identification and efficient ordering of products supplied by UK pharmacies.
In your PMR system, on the screen before confirming any orders, each item displayed will have a 7 digit number – this is C+D’s PIP code.
The PIP code is managed on behalf of the industry by Chemist+Druggist. It is C+D who pays for the database that holds the code and the staff who input and maintain the information on the 90,000+ products in the file. We process up to 6,000 changes a month. It is also C+D who arrange the distribution of the PIP code via electronic files (sent each week to system suppliers and wholesalers), via the Monthly Price List, weekly updates (sent to C+D subscribers) and the C+D Data website. The PIP Code licence fee enables C+D to provide this vital service to UK pharmacies and dispensing practices.

All payments to your system provider are separate to the licence fee you are required to obtain from C+D for using our data. Every market-leading PMR system contains PIP codes, which are owned and maintained by C+D. All system suppliers are licensed by C+D to incorporate PIP codes into these systems. As an end user you will be accessing C+D’s PIP code data through these systems and need a separate licence from us to use it.

There has aways been a requirement to have a C+D licence. We run ongoing marketing campaigns to raise awareness of this and aim to reach all pharmacies.

Yes, you are required to hold a valid license if you are using the PIP code data for ordering, dispensing, labelling, running reports and performing any other daily business functions.

Thousands of pharmacies using C+D’s PIP codes are paying for an appropriate C+D licence; there are only a small portion of pharmacies, not currently holding the correct licence to use the PIP code data. This is why we are contacting you to ensure you now have the correct licence to continue using C+D’s PIP Codes in your dispensary computer system.

A standard pharmacy licence currently costs £362.98 including VAT annually. We have additional licence packages available – please contact us for more information.
