How it is made
Open Index shows the figures as NHS England Organisation Data Service and Ordnance Survey publish them, for the areas they were published for: map points.
Larger areas use the publisher’s own figures, never an average of smaller areas.
Before you use it
- Each pharmacy is placed at its postcode point, which can be a short walk from the door.
- This is the NHS list of community pharmacies with a contract to dispense. It does not say which services or opening hours each offers.
