The Open Data Blend February 2024 update includes updates to the prescribing dataset and a rate limit increase in the Open Data Blend Dataset API.

Open Data Blend Datasets

English Prescribing Data for December 2023

We updated the Prescribing dataset with the latest available NHS English Prescribing data including activity up until December 2023. This is contained in the 2023 data file and supporting dimension (i.e. lookup/reference) files. This means you can readily download and analyse the prescribing activity for the whole of 2023 and compare this with prior years.

You can download the data from the Open Data Blend Datasets Prescribing page, analyse it directly in supported BI tools through the Open Data Blend Analytics service, or instantly explore insights through the Pharma Market Insights report.

100% More API Calls per Minute

We increased the rate limit on the number of data file downloads per minute from 15 to 30. This means you can use the Open Data Blend Dataset API to ingest more data files in parallel into your data lake or data lakehouse.

Go ahead and update your ingestion pipelines to get data into your data platforms quicker. Happy downloading!
