TMSX (Template Master Series-X) is the proprietary software that acts as the primary repository for the Critical Care database.

MedTMS (Medicine Template Master Series) is its more recent counterpart for the Medicine database and is the primary repository for the Medicine database.

These are sometimes referred to as "Ed's program", after their programmer p:Ed Roberts from Template Master Series LTD.

The software encrypts our data, does some integrity checking and provides a front end to do some data analysis. The data is stored locally on each PC that uses the programs, necessitating regular data updates. Additionally, the program is locally installed on each PC, so updates and fixes need to be applied for any PC where it is installed.
