Identity and activity coverage varies by nation
England pharmacies recorded 102,393,778 dispensed items in 2026-06. That is an increase of 4,795,004 items (4.9%) compared with 2026-05. This is aggregate contractor activity and does not measure unique patients, revenue, profitability or current medicine stock.
The latest EPS publication records 53,402,446 active nominations across 10,323 pharmacies. A nomination is a patient choice recorded in EPS; it is not proof of dispensing volume or service quality.
The five ICB areas with the largest item totals account for 32% of England items in 2026-06. This describes where activity was recorded, not market concentration between pharmacy owners.
