Care Show Birmingham 2026 · Hall 3
Scan a real medicine pack with us in Birmingham.
Thanks for coming to see us in Birmingham.
We're at Care Show Birmingham on 7 and 8 October. Book fifteen minutes with the team and watch a whole medication round happen on eMAR — the prescription read for you, the pack scanned at the bedside, the controlled drug countersigned, and a warfarin dose that won't be given without a current INR.
Care Show Birmingham has finished for another year. If we didn't get to talk, or you'd like to go through it again with your team, we'll run the same demo online — on your schedule.

In fifteen minutes
Six things we'll show you — on a real round, not a slide deck.
Prescriptions, read for you
Upload a prescription and eMAR drafts each medicine, dose and time onto the chart — for a person to check and confirm, never instead of one.
Scan-to-give at the bedside
Scan the pack and the dose is checked against the resident, the medicine and the time before it can be signed. The server re-checks the scan, not just the phone.
A pack you've never seen
Point the staff app at an unfamiliar box and see what's inside — the medicine and its active ingredient, matched against the NHS Dictionary of Medicines and Devices.
Controlled drugs, countersigned
Choose a controlled drug and eMAR already knows its schedule — it asks for a second member of staff to countersign, so nobody has to remember to.
Warfarin and insulin, charted properly
Warfarin won't be given on an out-of-date INR: record the reading and it unlocks, let the review lapse and it locks again. Insulin gets its own chart, with blood glucose beside every dose.
Your pharmacy, in the loop
The pharmacy sees the MAR chart before the medicines arrive, tracks each delivery to the door, and prints the chart you need — PRN, controlled drugs, this cycle or next.
From the floor to the office
Given at the bedside. On the chart straight away.
The carer scans and signs on the floor; the office sees it on the MAR chart the moment it happens, with a name and a time against every entry.
- One outcome per dose — two carers can't both sign for the same 08:00 tablet
- Every MAR code — given, refused, in hospital, asleep, self-administered
- No new hardware — staff scan with the phone they already carry
Who it's for
Worth fifteen minutes of your show if you're…
A care home manager
See how the MAR chart, the audit trail and the evidence CQC asks for come out of the round itself.
A nurse or medication lead
Try scan-to-give, PRN reasons, controlled drug countersigning and the warfarin INR check with your own hands.
Running more than one home
Ask us how a rollout across your group would work, and what each home's manager would see.
A community pharmacy
See the pharmacy portal and driver app — charts before delivery, driver runs and proof of delivery.

Are you a PMR company?
Your pharmacies supply care homes on eMAR. Let's make our systems talk.
Connect your PMR or care software to eMAR so the customers we share stop typing the same medicines twice. Meet us at the show.
Questions
Before you go.
Is Care Show Birmingham free to attend?
Yes, for people working in social care, healthcare, the NHS or the public sector — register with the organiser before you travel. Commercial visitors buy a pass, the show is trade only, and under-16s aren't admitted.
Do I have to book to see eMAR?
No — come and find us in Hall 3. Booking holds time with the team for you, so you won't be waiting while we're part-way through a demo with someone else.
What if I can't get to Birmingham?
Choose "Online instead" when you book and we'll arrange a video demo at a time that suits you.
What does eMAR cost?
Care home plans start at £34.99 a month with ten residents included, and pharmacy plans at £150 a month with ten linked homes included. The full breakdown is on our pricing page.
How long does it take to get started?
Most homes are recording doses the same day. You describe your floors, areas, rooms and beds once, add residents and their medication, and print the barcode labels.
How do I get to the NEC?
NEC Birmingham (B40 1NT) is next to Birmingham International station and Birmingham Airport, just off junction 6 of the M42. The show is in Hall 3, and there are over 16,500 parking spaces on site.
