Frequently asked questions

Where does the data come from?

RxLens is built on the Secondary Care Medicines Data published by NHS England and the NHS Business Services Authority — processed pharmacy stock-control data from all NHS Acute, Teaching, Specialist, Mental Health and Community Trusts in England, standardised using SNOMED CT and the dm+d. We process and structure it so you can explore it instantly.

Are the cost figures the real prices paid?

No. Costs are indicative only. Actual NHS hospital prices reflect confidential discounts, rebates and procurement agreements and are not published. Indicative costs use community pharmacy reimbursement prices for generics and list prices for branded medicines. See our Data & disclaimers.

How current is the data?

We add a new month of data each month. The most recent months are provisional and are revised when the annually finalised figures are published. See Data & disclaimers for detail.

Is RxLens part of the NHS?

No. RxLens is an independent analytics service provided by Nexcea Limited and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to NHS England or the NHSBSA.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time and you keep access until the end of your billing period.
