Pharmly Cloud Data News 📰


Pharmly Cloud Data 2.0.1

Release date: 21-Aug-2025

Updates

  • Included DM+D (SNOMED) codes and names in datasets, replacing Pharmly codes
  • Improved formatting and styling throughout the application
  • Removed Dashboard and Opportunities tabs to improve focus and navigation
  • Major update to the live data feed (API)


Pharmly Cloud Data 2.0.0

Release date: 08-Jul-2025

Updates

  • Cleaned secondary care commissioning region names


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.9.9

Release date: 05-Nov-2024

Improvements

  • Allow for filtering via PCOs in the prescribing data 🔍
  • Added PCN name equivalents for all countries in the UK


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.9.8

Release date: 11-Jun-2024

Improvement

  • The primary care prescribing datasets now include an ‘Items’ metric. A prescription form listing ‘Warfarin 1mg tablets 84 tablet’ and ‘Warfarin 3mg tablets 56 tablet’ would be considered as two items, whereas the Units are 84 and 56 respectively.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.9.7

Release date: 13-Feb-2024

Improvement

  • Data downloads are now formatted nicely with correct column widths, filters and currency symbols.

Bug fix

  • Some column names in the DM+D tab had Status in their name, rather than Name - this has been corrected.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.9.6

Release date: 22-Jan-2024

Update

  • The Indicative Cost column name in Secondary Care Medicines Data was too long and made it difficult to read the month so has been changed to Value. Eg. ‘Value Jan 24’ rather than ‘Indicative Cost Jan 24’. The actual data has not changed.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.9.5

Release date: 26-Jul-2023

New features

  • Starting today, you can now choose not one, not two, but up to 10 delightful brands from our Prescribing GP dataset! It’s like having a data buffet at your fingertips – pick and choose the brands that are of interest to you and download everything at once. We know active ingredients can be a handful, so we’re keeping things exclusive with a one-active-ingredient-only rule for them. Hey, we don’t want any data drama! Enjoy!


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.9.4

Release date: 26-Apr-2023

Bug fix

  • 🎉 Great news! We’ve squashed that pesky bug causing the spinner to spin endlessly. We’ve implemented a killer fix that puts an end to the perpetual spinning once and for all. đŸš«đŸ”„


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.9.3

Release date: 17-Mar-2023

Bug fix

  • Oops! Selecting an ‘Unassigned active ingredient’ disconnected the app from server 😮. This was not intended, nor was the option to select ‘Unassigned active ingredient’ in the first place. Resolved now!
  • We have many favourites. We incorrectly forced some of those favourites upon you when selecting brands. This resulted in more brands than you expected! We won’t do that again, promise.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.9.2

Release date: 29-Nov-2022

Bug fix

  • Solved an issue in the competitor intelligence tab. Unfortunately, the dates were not processed correctly and sometimes it would chop of the remainder of the month. This has been fixed now.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.9.1

Release date: 23-Nov-2022

Improvements

  • We included more products in Pharmly Cloud Data 🙌. In this update you will also see combination products and component only products.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.9.0

Release date: 20-Oct-2022

Improvements

  • Notifications, we love them! They tell you what’s up when something doesn’t work as expected. In Pharmly Cloud Data, we show notifications when you didn’t select all the required inputs. We made them a bit more clear so you know exactly what you should do đŸ’Ș.
  • Sometimes a tooltip was so stubborn, that it stayed on the screen forever. This is solved now, so the tooltips will go away when you want them to!


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.8.9

Release date: 27-Sep-2022

New features

  • The Scottish Drug Tariff is now available in our apps! You can browse through the full history and get all Drug Tariff prices for products in Part 7 of the Scottish Drug Tariff, including Parts 7U and 7B. Click on the info button for more information about the different subsections 💡. On the Drug Tariff tab you will now see a country picker as well. The choices are either ‘England & Wales’ or ‘Scotland’.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.8.8

Release date: 11-Sep-2022

New features

  • Wait
 The help/chat button isn’t positioned at the bottom left anymore? 🧐 That’s right! We moved the button to the other bottom corner to make space for the new position of the logout button. Alongside that, we fixed the position of the sidebar so you can always see its content.

Improvements

  • We did some formatting on numbers and dates, so they display nicely.
  • We worked on small UX improvements like adding spacing, changing wording and aligning styles.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.8.7

Release date: 25-Aug-2022

New features

  • The Secondary Care Medicines Data now has a months picker too. This means that you can select how far you want to back in history!
  • The opportunities table now displays the opportunities nicely so you can properly read them 📖
  • Besides that, there are new columns in two datasets: prescribing GP and opportunities. The prescribing GP dataset now contains a column indicating whether or not it is a dispensing practice (for England only). The opportunities data has multiple new columns and makes it easier to analyse the data.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.8.6

Release date: 23-Aug-2022

Bug fixes

  • Favourites were not always updated correctly- that’s fixed now 👍.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.8.5

Release date: 11-Aug-2022

Improvements

  • The prescribing-practice tab now also shows the latest update date per country, so you always know which data you’re looking at 😎


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.8.4

Release date: 09-Aug-2022

Improvements

  • It’s generally good practice to log out of applications once you’re done. It was therefore unfortunate that we didn’t have a logout button đŸ€­. But it’s here now, so you can safely close off!


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.8.3

Release date: 03-Aug-2022

Improvements

  • New sidebar layout! With the growing number of datasets we thought it would be nice to keep it all organised.
  • Nobody likes to wait, and luckily our API is amazingly fast 🚀, but in the event that you have to wait we would like you to have a nice experience. So we improved the loading experience so you know what to expect. Details!
  • For the Drug Tariff and its additional parts it doesn’t always make sense to show the full product range, as some parts like Part IX contain branded products. In this case you maybe want to see the brand only. Therefore we enabled the check box so you can make a choice yourself 👍.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.8.2

Release date: 22-Jul-2022

New features

  • The Drug Tariff data now has additional parts! Besides Part VIIIA, you can now also find part VIIIB, VIIID and IX. For more info, simply hit the info button 💡.

Pharmly Cloud Data 1.8.1

Release date: 20-Jul-2022

Bug fixes 🐞

  • Sometimes it could happen that the button to filter the data wouldn’t display anymore. This was the case when you made a selection for which no data was available. In this scenario it makes perfect sense to not display a button to filter non-existent data. But in other scenarios it doesn’t: so all fixed!


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.8.0

Release date: 18-Jul-2022

New features

  • NEW: competitor intel data! Another popular dataset added to Pharmly Cloud Data that helps you to find brand acquisitions, company acquisitions and mergers, new start-ups 🚀 and deceased companies. Based on the DM+D we do an extensive analysis to find out what is happening in the competitive landscape so you’ll be up-to-date at all times. The data is updated weekly and you can search by active ingredient, brand, company and date (range) 🔍.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.7.9

Release date: 14-Jul-2022

New features

  • NEW: opportunities data! Our popular market opportunities are now available in Pharmly Cloud Data. Find out where low competition opportunities are, which new innovative pack sizes and strenghts you can launch, which ICBs can save by switching to other brands and much more! ✹ Find out more about the opportunities in by clicking the info button🙌


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.7.8

Release date: 12-Jul-2022

New features

  • You can now search the shortages data by single month or month range 📅. Just try out our new date picker to see all shortages in your specified time range.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.7.7

Release date: 04-Jul-2022

New features

  • The Pharmly Codes and DM+D tabs now include a company search 🔍! This makes it easier to look up products from one or more companies. This follows the release of the REST API version 2.2- which included a company search one week earlier.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.7.6

Release date: 29-Jun-2022

New features

  • Pharmly Codes are now available in the app 👀. You can simply search by active ingredient and brand- just like you’re used to. The Pharmly Codes endpoint helps you to find all the codes you need and is especially useful when using our REST API and retrieving data programmatically.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.7.5

Release date: 22-Jun-2022

New features

  • When was the data last updated? 🧐 And when is new data expected? 👀 Answers to these questions can now be found in the app! In every tab we display the latest update date, and if you want to know the next due date simply click on the info button. Full visibility!


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.7.4

Release date: 13-Jun-2022

Improvements

  • A whole lot of minor UX improvements because we love things to look perfect 🙌. We adjusted the screen size for our terms of service and technical documentation, we added formatting to all numeric columns in the data preview tables, we added tooltips to the sidebar, we now show on which tab you are (in case you forgot 👀- especially handy when you collapsed the sidebar) and we added a link to our website.
  • The graphs in the dashboard weren’t always behaving properly- especially when resizing the screen. Labels dropped off, sizes varied. Not the kind of graphs we imagined. The graphs have been updated and now always show you want to see: how much data you can pull from Pharmly Cloud Data.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.7.3

Release date: 31-May-2022

Bug fixes

  • Selections memory fixed.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.7.2

Release date: 30-May-2022

New features

  • We love the NEWS file. And you can now access it from within the app! Check it out regularly to see whatever we’re writing here đŸ€©.
  • And that’s not the only document you can access from within the app
 Also the Technical Documentation for the REST API is available. You can easily access the latest version from within the app now.

Improvements

  • Some UX improvements to make sure you get an outstanding User Experience 🎀 . Small things we care about like the order of how elements load onto the page and how we tell you that you can’t click on something. Details matter!


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.7.1

Release date: 25-May-2022

Improvements

  • It’s awesome to have a dashboard that displays the number of requests per dataset
 But there is no need to do that for the dashboard itself or the favourites 😅. So we have removed them from the dashboard.
  • The spinners weren’t behaving properly on the search type and choice type buttons. A spinner only appeared on the search type button, even though you clicked the choice type button. Confusing. This is solved now.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.7

Release date: 17-May-2022

New features

  • NEW LOOK! We updated our interface so it looks even prettier!
  • We love data! 😍 So we added some more to our Pharmly Cloud Data Web Interface: the Prescription Cost Analysis (PCA) data. This data helps you to understand dispensed quantities and values in the English community. And it’s as simple to use as all our other datasets: search for your active ingredient(s) or brand(s) and you’re ready to go! More information about this dataset can be found under the info button and also the REST API provides you with (programmatic) access to this data.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.6.1

Release date: 11-Apr-2022

Solved

  • We solved the issue in the Northern Ireland prescribing data! In Northern Ireland, the quantities of inhalers are recorded interchangeably between the number of doses and the number of devices. This makes the data impossible to interpret, so we worked closely with Health and Social Care Northern Ireland to find a solution. ✅


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.6

Release date: 16-Mar-2022

New features

  • Wow, we doubled the loading speed for large datasets! 🚀
  • The green borders were a bit overwhelming, so we reduced the size of those to give you more room for the lovely data tables đŸ„°

Deprecated features

  • The ‘Preview’ button was not adding a lot of value so it has been retired. Now if there are more than 10k rows of data you will just be shown 10k and then will need to download to Excel for the full set.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.5.1

Release date: 23-Feb-2022

Bug fixes

  • Oops, a bug!🐛 Sometimes you selected an active ingredient and a dosage form but the app would still believe that you had nothing selected. That’s not cool! This is solved now so you can trust the error messages again.


Pharmly Cloud Data 1.5

Release date: 28-Jan-2022

New features

  • We included a bunch of new products! Appliances, creams, shampoos, they all can be found in Pharmly Cloud Data from now on. Unfortunately multiple web browsers did not appreciate the amount of choices in the pickers, so we had to separate them. Instead of choosing from one picker for Active Ingredient and/or Brand and dosage you now search with separate pickers for Active Ingredient and/or Brand and dosage.
  • If you have an eye for details, you will notice that the choices related to dosage slightly changed. Why? Because we improved our mapping to include the new products and we aligned more with the coding system of the DM&D. Dosages are now more on a granular level too, so it’s easier for you to find exactly what you’re looking for.
