How counts are defined

NHS ODS edispensary organisations with status_name = ACTIVE (england_ods_dispensaries), mapped to the 36 current ICBs including legacy predecessor ODS codes rolled into successor boards. Active GP prescribing cost centres (role RO76, status_name = ACTIVE) mapped via icb_code or Sub-ICB target_org_code. Current Sub-ICB location records in ODS (structural organisational count, not activity-filtered). Active NHS ODS dental practices (status_name = ACTIVE) per ICB. Latest published FP57 refund count and amount per ICB short code, including legacy predecessor short codes merged into successor boards. 2024 ICB mergers and predecessor boards are hidden from the list; pharmacies, GPs, Sub-ICBs, and FP57 tagged to legacy codes are combined into the successor ICB.

Hospital prescribing in the community

NHS trust prescriptions dispensed in the community for this integrated care board — not attributed to individual pharmacies.

What is hospital prescribing in the community?

When an NHS hospital trust issues a prescription that is dispensed at a community pharmacy, it is recorded separately from GP and dental prescribing. Figures are rolled up to the integrated care board where the trust maps in official NHS organisation records.

  • Scope is the whole ICB — every pharmacy in the board sees the same regional totals
  • Trust codes are matched via official NHS organisation records; a small share of items may not map
  • Top trusts and BNF presentations are ranked by items for the selected month
