We’re moving all of our drug data into one place
The ‘One Drug Database’ project is underway to provide a consistent, single source of information. The first release of new data is due in January 2020 (for November 2019 data).
There will be differences in the way data is presented. You can read more about the project, and how this affects our systems and reports.
ePACT2 gives authorised users access to prescription data.
You can access online analyses of prescribing data held by NHS Prescription Services. Data is available 6 weeks after the dispensing month.
ePACT2 provides easy-to-use analysis, reports and dashboards. You can access the system with an internet connection.
ePACT2 has more functionality than the original ePACT system, including the ability to:
- interrogate prescription data in ways not possible before
- create data visualisation using interactive reports and dashboards
- look at high level data summaries down to individual prescription item detail
- schedule queries to be pre-run so results are available when you open a dashboard
- export data from reports and dashboards
- access whole country data
- view patterns of prescribing at patient level
