Two ways to work with us

A live subscription, and a tailored deep-dive.

The subscription keeps the whole dispensing market in front of you every day, for a flat monthly fee. The tailored report is a one-off deep dive, sized to your list, that turns your own history into, typically, around £50,000 of identified recoverable margin. Most practices start with the subscription and add the report when they want the full picture.

Live Market Subscription
The whole dispensing market, live, shared across the practice and the prescribing team. Refreshed every working day; nothing to set up.
TBCflat monthly fee
What the subscription includes:
  • Up-to-date prices and stock across all three main wholesalers, side by side
  • The latest Drug Tariff and every price concession, and what they mean for your margin
  • Today's biggest margin winners and losers, and the cheapest supplier in stock
  • 90-day price history and a universal prescriber-switching view
  • The price-blind Prescriber Dashboard, with a login for every prescriber
  • One subscription for the whole practice, with individual logins for everyone; cancel with 30 days' notice

Tailored Report Deep-dive
A one-off, practice-specific recovery of the margin your own history is leaving behind, finishing with a live findings call with the founders.
TBCone-off, sized to your list
What the deep-dive covers:
  • Your practice's own dispensing history analysed line by line, from your invoices, FP34 and ePACT2 data
  • Every profitable prescribing switch quantified: generic-to-brand rebate lines (NHS impact shown), inhalers, the flozins, emollients and more
  • NHS contract modelling, a QOF review, and local population and housing-growth research for your area
  • Priority access to exclusive MDS and manufacturer rebate schemes
  • A live Teams readout with the founders, and an optional hands-off implementation

Final pricing is being confirmed. It scales with list size, so a smaller practice pays less overall; we confirm the exact figure for your list size after an initial look. Prices will exclude VAT. The live dashboard keeps you ahead day to day, the tailored report recovers the margin you are currently missing, and the two work together.

No-obligation first look: from a single period of your data we tell you whether there is enough recoverable margin to be worth your while, before you commit to anything.

Why practices trust the numbers

Proven on a live practice
The method was built and run against a working NHS dispensing practice, not a demo.
Reconciles to your FP34
Income is audited back to source, to within a fraction of a percent, before anything is reported.
Signed off by a dispensing GP
Every material figure is checked by a GP who dispenses, never generated and left unchecked.
Live, every working day
The market dashboard refreshes daily from the wholesalers, the Drug Tariff and the concessions.
What it does

A clear, live picture of where your dispensary stands.

Reimbursement, the Drug Tariff, concessions, rebates and procurement all move independently, and a line that made money last quarter can quietly turn into a loss. RxMargin tracks it line by line and refreshes every working day, so the whole market is in front of you in seconds, not minutes.

Drug-level margin

Net cost versus reimbursement on every line, so loss-making and over-tariff items surface instead of hiding in the average.

Rebates & concessions

Supplier rebate schemes and live price concessions tracked, flagging where you are below the rates you could earn.

Cheapest supplier, in stock

The best in-stock price for any line across the wholesalers, with 90-day history, so you always buy well.

Built for speed

What used to take minutes takes seconds, handing hours back to your dispensary team every week.

Included with the subscription

A prescriber view for the whole team, with prices kept private.

Every prescribing clinician gets their own login showing the practice's preferred lines at the point of prescribing. Costs, margins and figures stay with the partners. That is what makes better prescribing stick, without ever exposing commercially sensitive data to the wider team.

  • Every prescriber, one shared view

    Not just the partners. Salaried GPs, registrars, ANPs and practice pharmacists all see the same agreed preferred lines, so the whole team prescribes from the same page.

  • Preferred lines at the point of prescribing

    The recommended product, form and pack for each therapeutic choice, with the clinically equivalent alternative alongside. Good decisions happen as the script is written, not audited months later.

  • Price-blind by design

    The prescriber view never shows cost, margin or any figure. Commercial data stays with the partners and practice manager, which is exactly why partners are comfortable rolling access out to everyone.

The result: partners keep commercial data private, prescribers get clean clinical guidance, and the whole practice moves to its preferred lines together. It is a secure portal page, not another system to install: we set up a login for each prescriber, onboarding takes minutes, and it opens in the browser alongside your clinical system.

Security & information governance

Built to be safe to put practice data on.

We treat your data the way a practice has to. Hosting is in the UK, every practice is isolated, and access is by individual sign-in, there's no shared login and no open link.

Per-practice isolation

Each practice can only reach its own material. One practice physically cannot fetch another's files, access is blocked before the request is served.

Individual sign-in

Each named user signs in with a one-time code to their own email. No shared passwords for you to manage, and access can be removed in seconds.

UK-hosted

Content is served from the UK behind an access-controlled front door, so practice material never sits on an open address.

Aggregate, not patient data

The analysis uses practice-level dispensing, tariff and invoice data (drug, pack, cost and reimbursement). It uses no patient-identifiable records and nothing from the clinical record, which keeps the governance burden proportionate.

DSPT and a written DPA

We align to the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit and sign a data-processing agreement with your practice. You remain the data controller; we are your processor, with a defined retention and deletion policy.

Computed by rule, audited by a GP

Every reimbursement, cost and margin figure is computed by rule against the Drug Tariff, never guessed or estimated. No patient-identifiable data is involved, and a dispensing GP checks every material number against source and signs it off.

We provide a data-processing agreement, our DSPT position and our retention and deletion policy before any real practice data is shared.

Why RxMargin

Specialist analysis, not generic software.

Who builds it

RxMargin is built and run by practising NHS GPs who dispense. The method was developed against real dispensing data from a working practice, encodes how a dispensary actually trades, and every material figure is audited by a dispensing GP before it reaches your portal, not generated and left unchecked.

Common questions

What practices ask us first.

What do you need from us to start?
Nothing for the Live Market subscription, it is live the moment you sign in. For a tailored report we ask for your dispensing data (e.g. PD4(PxQ)), recent wholesaler invoices and supplier remittances, with a short checklist and a secure way to share them. No new software for your team to learn.
How is this different from what our accountant does?
Accountants work at the year-end, whole-dispensary level. We work at the individual drug-line level, every period, reconciling each line against what you were actually reimbursed and against the rates and concessions available that month. It complements your accountant; it doesn't replace them.
Is our data safe?
Yes. Each practice is isolated behind its own individual sign-in, hosted in the UK, with no shared link or login. The data we use is practice-level (dispensing, tariff and invoice figures), not patient-identifiable records. We provide a data-processing agreement before anything is shared.
Will this conflict with NHS prescribing guidance or our ICB?
No. Every switch we suggest shows its effect on the NHS bill, not just your margin. Where moving to a brand to claim a manufacturer rebate would cost the NHS more, we say so on the line and flag the extra per pack; we only present a switch as a clean win when it is cost-neutral or saves the NHS money. The clinician always decides what is clinically appropriate. We surface the figures, we do not prescribe.
How much time would it take us?
Minimal. The Live Market subscription needs nothing set up. For a tailored report you share your data once; the analysis, reconciliation and reporting are done for you and delivered ready to act on.
What do we actually get back?
From the Live Market subscription: the live market dashboard and the price-blind prescriber view, updated every working day, with an individual login for everyone on the team. From a tailored report: partner-ready reports, ready-to-send submissions (such as a price-concession claim) and a prioritised list of recoverable margin, delivered through your private portal.
What does it cost?
Final pricing is being confirmed. The Live Market dashboard is a flat monthly subscription for the whole practice; the tailored deep-dive is a one-off engagement sized to your list. Pricing scales with list size, so a smaller practice pays less overall, and we confirm the exact figure after an initial look. No long tie-in; 30 days' notice on the subscription. See what each product includes →
We see a certificate error when visiting from our surgery computer. Why?
NHS-managed networks often run TLS inspection - they re-sign web traffic with a local certificate that your browser does not recognise. This produces a "Your connection is not private" or NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID warning. The site itself is fine; the warning is caused by the network layer, not by anything wrong with rxmargin.co.uk.

Your IT team or helpdesk can fix it in about two minutes by adding five hostnames to two policy rules in Cloudflare Gateway (a "Do Not Inspect" TLS rule and an Allow HTTP rule). The hostnames are: rxmargin.co.uk, www.rxmargin.co.uk, portal.rxmargin.co.uk, rxmargin.cloudflareaccess.com and rxmargin-notify.ed-muffett.workers.dev (the enquiry-form endpoint).

For SCW-managed practices, raise a network-related call via the SCW IT Self Service Portal and reference those instructions. In the meantime, the site works normally from any device not on the NHS-managed network (a personal phone or laptop, for example).
