Bespoke NHS Prescribing Intelligence

Your questions.
Our analysis.

PrescribingInsights is a bespoke analytical service. We work directly with your team to build tailored insights from NHS prescribing and TRUD pricing data — shaped entirely around the questions that matter to your business.

57m+ NHS prescriptions monthly
20k+ dm+d product entries
106 ICBs & legacy CCGs

Every engagement is
built around you

We don't offer a one-size-fits-all product. Every piece of work begins with a conversation about your specific challenge — then we build the analysis to match.

Prescribing Volume Analysis

We build tailored analysis of national and regional prescribing volumes by BNF chapter, section, or individual presentation — scoped precisely to the therapeutic area and geography that matters to you.

Pricing & Reimbursement Intelligence

Using NHS TRUD dm+d data, we investigate pricing trajectories, Drug Tariff category changes, and reimbursement patterns for the products relevant to your strategy — not a generic market overview.

Product Launch Support

We research how comparable products launched — uptake curves, regional adoption, pricing at entry — and deliver analysis designed to support your specific go-to-market planning and stakeholder conversations.

ICB & Regional Benchmarking

We create bespoke comparisons across Integrated Care Boards — whether you need to understand a single ICB's prescribing profile or benchmark an entire region, we build the view you need.

Deliverables That Work for You

Outputs are shaped around your audience — whether that's an interactive Power BI dashboard, a concise executive briefing, a data export for your own modelling, or a slide deck ready for leadership.

Ongoing Advisory Relationship

Some clients need a one-off piece of work. Others want a continuing analytical partner. We're flexible — from a single project to a retained relationship that evolves with your business needs.

Built on authoritative
NHS open data

We combine two of the most powerful publicly available NHS datasets to produce insights that neither can deliver alone.

NHS Business Services Authority

Prescribing Data (EPD)

The England Prescribing Dataset provides monthly prescribing volumes, item counts, and net ingredient costs at practice, PCN, and ICB level — covering every BNF-coded presentation dispensed in primary care.

  • Monthly granularity back to 2014
  • Practice-level resolution
  • BNF hierarchy: chapter → presentation
  • Net ingredient cost & quantity
  • SNOMED-coded product identifiers
NHS TRUD / dm+d

Dictionary of Medicines & Devices

The dm+d is the NHS standard for identifying medicines. Maintained via TRUD, it carries pricing data including basic price, reimbursement categories, and product lifecycle status — updated weekly.

  • Weekly pricing updates via TRUD API
  • Virtual Medicinal Product (VMP) level
  • Drug Tariff category & price
  • Supplier & manufacturer metadata
  • Product status & availability flags

The kinds of questions
clients bring to us

01

Where is my competitor gaining share?

Map therapeutic substitution across ICBs to identify where a competing product is growing and where your product may be losing ground.

02

What price should we launch at?

Analyse historical launch pricing and reimbursement trajectories for comparable drugs to model likely market acceptance at different price points.

03

Which ICBs are early adopters?

Identify which Integrated Care Boards consistently lead on uptake of new medicines within a therapeutic class — and target them accordingly.

04

How is our formulary performing?

ICBs and NHS commissioners can benchmark their own prescribing patterns against regional and national peers with clear, reproducible reporting.

05

What does the drug tariff tell us?

Track pricing pressure signals from the Drug Tariff category changes and model the likely cost impact on prescribing decisions over time.

06

Where are the growth opportunities?

Spot under-penetrated geographies or patient populations based on prescribing rates relative to disease prevalence data.

A process built around
your brief

Every engagement follows a simple but disciplined approach — from understanding your question to delivering analysis you can act on.

1

Discovery Call

We start by understanding your business context, the specific question you're trying to answer, and what a useful output looks like for your team. No jargon, no templates — just a conversation.

2

Scoping & Proposal

We'll define the data sources, methodology, and deliverables clearly and provide a written scope. You'll know exactly what you're getting, by when, and at what cost — before any work begins.

3

Analysis & Build

We pull together NHS prescribing data and TRUD pricing intelligence, perform the agreed analysis, and build your deliverable — whether that's a dashboard, a report, or a structured data extract.

4

Delivery & Walkthrough

We present the findings directly to your team, walking through the key insights and ensuring you can interpret and use the outputs confidently. Revisions and follow-up questions are always included.

We work with anyone who needs
to understand NHS prescribing

Our clients come to us with very different questions. What they share is a need for rigorous, NHS-specific analysis they can trust and act on.
