ICB_NAME ICB Name string The name of the Integrated Care Board (ICB).
BNF_CHEMICAL_SUBSTANCE_CODE BNF Chemical Substance Code string The first nine digits of the 15-digit BNF Code, which indicate the chemical substance under which the drug or appliance is categorised.
BNF_CHEMICAL_SUBSTANCE_NAME BNF Chemical Substance string This is the International Non-proprietary Name (INN) and is the standard registered name for the active constituent of that medicine, for example omeprazole. For compounds the name may be more complex, such as co-magaldrox magnesium/aluminium hydrox). In some cases the name is a collective one for a range of medicines, such as alginic acid compound preparations. For prescriptions in BNF chapters 19 to 23, there is no "chemical" name, as these are dressings and appliances. Therefore, these items are reported under the BNF section name, for example, night drainage bags.
AGE_BAND Age Band string Indicates the age band for identifiable patients. If a patient's age has not been able to be verified, the age band will be indicated as unknown.
ITEMS Items number Items shows the number of times a product appears on a prescription form not the quantity prescribed.
