Hi I was wondering the difference or relationship between English Prescribing Dataset (EPD) & Prescription Cost Analysis (PCA). For the category i was looking into, the two dataset clearly reveals different results.

Hello

Sorry for delay in replying - EPD and PCA are different views of prescribing and dispensing data. I am working with our team to give a better overview answer that I will post here. On your specifics, I would recommend emailing the DataServicesSupport@nhsbsa.nhs.uk team as they can look into exact organisation / drug data that you are trying to analyse.
