It is maintained by the NHS Business Services Authority and NHS Digital. DM+D data is provided in XML format under an Open Government Licence. This repository includes a Python script for parsing and cross-referencing two DM+D XML files in order to link Actual Medicinal Product Pack (AMPP) product data with Global Trade Identification Numbers (GTIN) in JSON format. This allows drug data to be found with a GTIN, which is available on a product barcode. The other part of this repository is a Python web app (using the Bottle framework) that provides an API interface to a MongoDB database containing the JSON data. The API is live on Heroku This API is running on a Heroku dyno at Ampoule Drug Data API. The data in the MongoDB database is updated periodically as DM+D updates are released. What is Ampoule? Ampoule is an iOS app that helps healthcare professionals to track an inventory of medical drugs. I developed this way of adapting DM+D data and incorporating it into an API to enable barcode scanning in the app, which will allow more rapid data entry by users. A note on barcodes In the UK, all medical product packs will have an EAN13 barcode, which provides the GTIN. Many packs will also have a 2D data matrix code, which usually encodes the GTIN as well as batch number and expiry date.
