Understanding prescribing data

Maximise the potential of prescribing data analysis

Use NHS data to drive efficiency and growth for your healthcare business

Prescribing data from NHS GP practices across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland enable us to explore patterns and trends like never before. Used well, these datasets have the power to improve your performance in a number of ways. For example, they can:

Enable pharma and medical device companies to analyse trends and regional variations to ensure targeted marketing campaigns
Track competitor performance down to pack level at an affordable price
Track usage of generic vs branded drugs
Track local usage vs direct/wholesaler sales to better understand parallel trade and private prescribing
Allow GPs, practice managers and CCGs to scrutinise their efficiency, and monitor their performance against national or regional trends
Measure prescribing data against NICE guidelines

Tailored data analysis support for the public and private sectors
