The Open Data Blend October 2022 update includes changes to the prescribing and road safety datasets.

Open Data Blend Datasets

English Prescribing Data for August 2022

We updated the Prescribing dataset with the latest available NHS English Prescribing data which includes activity up until August 2022. To align the dataset with the transition to Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) in NHS England, we introduced the following columns to the 'Primary Care Organisation' table:

• src_integrated_care_board_code
• src_integrated_care_board
• drv_integrated_care_board_code
• drv_integrated_care_board
• drv_current_integrated_care_board_code
• drv_current_integrated_care_board

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 Open Data Blend Insights service.

Road Safety Data for 2021

Our Road Safety dataset has been updated with the data for 2021 which became available this month. We've also added two new columns to keep it aligned with the source:

• src_lsoa_of_casualty_code (located in the 'Road Safety Casualty Info' table)
• src_lsoa_of_driver_code (located in the 'Road Safety Vehicle Driver' table)

Go ahead and grab the latest data for the Road Safety dataset. It can also be analysed through the Open Data Blend Analytics and Open Data Blend Insights services.
