Hospitals: One reference for every department
Wardside is the evidence-based clinical assistant for European hospitals. Doctors, nurses and hospital pharmacists ask and get an answer from summaries of product characteristics (SmPCs), the registers, guidelines and your protocols, with a citation to the exact section of the source.
What the hospital gets
Your rules in every answer
Wardside brings SmPCs, the registers, interactions and guidelines together in one place. The hospital adds its own formulary and protocols, and staff see the same answer in every department.
Formulary
The hospital formulary, in every search
The hospital pharmacist uploads the formulary as CSV or XLSX. Each row is matched against the register only on an exact match, and uncertain rows go to a review queue.
- An “on formulary” marker in the register, on the product page and among the equivalents
- Up to 24 versions, with a history of who changed the formulary and when
- A weekly notification when a product on the formulary changes status, gets a new SmPC or enters the national export-ban list
Internal protocols
Your protocols, cited alongside the SmPC
The hospital’s protocols and rules are uploaded as PDF, Markdown or text. The chat cites them on a par with the SmPC and the guidelines, and only your staff can see them.
- A citation to the page in the protocol and to the section in the SmPC
- Other organisations cannot see your documents
- Every turn in the chat stays in the hospital’s audit log
At the bedside
The risks, visible in time
Renal function, pregnancy, antibiotics and polypharmacy: everything the departments check every day is on the product page and in the chat. Details under Medicines
Renal dose adjustment
SmPC section 4.2 and 693 monographs from the Renal Drug Handbook with the verbatim GFR rows. Next to them are the Cockcroft-Gault and CKD-EPI 2021 calculators.

Every antibiotic carries its class: Access, Watch or Reserve. The register can be filtered by class, and “Formulary only” shows only the hospital’s products.
WHO AWaRe 2025Interactions in polypharmacy
Up to 20 products in one check, all pairs, three severity levels. When the sources differ, the more severe level is shown. Food, alcohol and duplicate therapy are shown separately.
ANSM, Cerner MultumCalculators and scores
89 calculators in 14 specialties, each with its formula and source: NEWS2, qSOFA, CURB-65, CHA₂DS₂-VA, HAS-BLED. The values entered are not stored.
89 calculatorsFor nurses
On the product page, nurses have quick access to SmPC sections 4.2 (posology), 6.2 (incompatibilities) and 6.6 (disposal and handling), and to the calculators.
SmPC sections 4.2, 6.2, 6.6Administration
Departments, roles and the medicines committee
The hospital administrator manages access from a dedicated console. The pharmacist on the medicines committee maintains the formulary, tracks products and reads the audit log.
Audit log and monthly report by department
The hospital’s audit log can be read only by the administrator and the pharmacist. The Wardside operator sees only metadata. Every month a PDF report arrives with the searches, interaction checks, calculators, questions and active users, by department.
- Small groups are hidden so that no individual can be identified
- Students’ questions are not counted in the clinical figures
Roles and departments
Physician, nurse, pharmacist. Staff are assigned to departments, and the usage report can be viewed by department.
Sign-in with the work account
SSO or work email domain, with automatic approval or approval by the administrator. Email invitations are valid for 30 days.
Network computers
A shared computer on the hospital network opens the register, interactions and calculators without a personal account. No chat and no history.
Tracked products
Up to 200 products, with an alert when the price per package, the status or the national export-ban list changes.
Every console feature is described on For institutions
Sample questions
Questions from the departments
Questions of the kind asked on ward rounds and in the hospital pharmacy. Wardside answers from the sources and shows the section each statement comes from.
“Ciprofloxacin dose at a creatinine clearance of 25 mL/min?”
SmPC section 4.2 and the GFR rows from the Renal Drug Handbook, verbatim and cited.
SmPC section 4.2, Renal Drug Handbook“Lamotrigine in pregnancy and breast-feeding?”
SmPC section 4.6 verbatim and the substance’s TGA category, with the full scale.
SmPC section 4.6, TGA“Which AWaRe group is ceftriaxone in?”
The WHO AWaRe 2025 class appears as a marker on the substance and on every product that contains it.
WHO AWaRe 2025“Amiodarone, clarithromycin, simvastatin and bisoprolol together?”
Every pair among the products, with the severity, the effect and the mechanism.
ANSM, Cerner Multum“Which enoxaparin product is on our formulary?”
The chat reads the hospital’s formulary and says which products are on it and which are not.
Hospital formulary“Paracetamol overdose: what does the SmPC say?”
SmPC section 4.9, with a citation to the section and a button that opens the full document.
SmPC section 4.9Wardside is not a clinical decision support system and does not replace the doctor’s judgement. Citations on the safety sections of the SmPC are checked word for word against the text, and if they do not match, Wardside declines to answer. More on this on the Security page.
Can Wardside show the hospital’s formulary?
Yes. The pharmacist or the administrator uploads the formulary as CSV or XLSX, up to 2,000 rows. Each row is matched against the register only on an exact match, and uncertain rows go to a review queue. Products on the formulary are marked in the register, on the product page and among the equivalents. Up to 24 versions are kept.
Who can see our internal protocols?
Only the hospital’s staff. Protocols are uploaded as PDF, Markdown or text, up to 20 MB, and the chat cites them on a par with the SmPC and the guidelines. Other organisations cannot see them.
Can Wardside be used from a shared computer on the ward?
Yes. A computer on the hospital network, recognised by the hospital’s IP range, opens the register, interactions and calculators without a personal account. The chat and the history require a personal sign-in with the work account.
Does Wardside recommend a treatment or a dose?
No. Wardside shows what the SmPC, the Renal Drug Handbook, the guidelines and your protocols state, with a citation to the exact section. It is not a clinical decision support system and not a medical device under Regulation (EU) 2017/745. Every answer in the chat carries the line “Not a treatment recommendation”.
Is patient data recorded?
No. Wardside holds no patient records and is not a hospital information system. Names, national identification numbers and phone numbers in a question are masked before they reach the language model and the audit log. A question about a named patient is declined, and the calculators do not store the values entered.
