    "description": "The Brain Health Data Pilot (BHDP) project aims to be a shared database (like a library) of information for scientists studying brain health, especially for diseases like dementia, which affects about 900,000 people in the UK. Its main feature is a huge collection of brain images linked to routinely collected health records, both from NHS Scotland, which will help scientists learn more about dementia and other brain diseases. What is special about this database is that it will get better over time – as scientists use it and add their discoveries, it becomes more valuable. \n\nThis dataset is a subset of the Prescribing Information System (PIS)  data for use with the BHDP project.\n\nThe information is supplied by Practitioner & Counter Fraud Services Division (P&CFS) who is responsible for the processing and pricing of all prescriptions dispensed in Scotland. These data are augmented with information on prescriptions written in Scotland that were dispensed elsewhere in the United Kingdom. GP’s write the vast majority of these prescriptions, with the remainder written by other authorised prescribers such as nurses and dentists. Also included in the dataset are prescriptions written in hospitals that are dispensed in the community. Note that prescriptions dispensed within hospitals are not included. Data includes CHI number, prescriber and dispenser details for community prescribing, costs and drug information. Data on practices (e.g. list size), organisational structures (e.g. practices within Community Health Partnerships (CHPs) and NHS Boards), prescribable items (e.g. manufacturer, formulation code, strength) are also included.\nAround 100 million data items are loaded per annum.",

Codes are updated in line with that but codes/hierarchies that no longer appear in the published BNF are retained in the BNF classification that we use.  In addition, the hierarchy is built into the code and so, where there are a large number of drugs and preparations within a particular area of the hierarchy, there can be too many to be coded into that hierarchy.  In these cases, additional codes and hierarchies not actually present in the published BNF can be created. Items found in the appendices of the BNF (e.g. nutritional supplements) will usually appear in additional chapters created in the BNF hierarchy."
