The 'One Drug Database' project has been delayed by one month
We’re now aiming to go live in February 2020 (for December 2019 data).
Due to the delay, we’ve been able to make other improvements to how we provide prescribing information.
You can read more about the improvements and the changes that we’ll be making, and how this affects our systems and reports.
You can also view a test file containing March 2019 data (ZIP: 144MB) for mapping purposes. (The ZIP file contains one Excel file which is 4.7GB).
ePACT2 gives authorised users access to prescription data.
