Answers

Frequently asked questions

How these boards are ranked, where the numbers come from, and what they cover.

What are PharmAnalyser leaderboards?

Public ranked lists of NHS pharmacies and GP practices by published dispensing activity, EPS nominations (England), list size, and payment metrics. Each board uses the latest month or week available from official NHS and PHS open data.

Which nations are covered?

Pharmacy leaderboards cover England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and crown dependencies (Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey) where data is published. GP leaderboards cover England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

How often are leaderboards updated?

Dispensing boards refresh when NHSBSA or PHS publish new months — typically monthly, 2–3 months after the reporting period for England. EPS nominations use weekly snapshots. GP list size follows each nation's published register month.

Can I open a pharmacy or GP from a leaderboard row?

Yes. Every ranked entry links to the organisation detail page with register identity, geography, and published activity metrics for that contractor or practice.

How do leaderboards relate to ICBs and health boards?

Nation boards rank all active organisations in a country. ICB, health board, LHB, LHSCG, and LPC pages show organisation counts and local context — and many ICB detail pages include a top-pharmacies preview for that area.
