UK Medicines Regulatory Guidance

United Kingdom · updates: monthly · uk-medicines-guidance

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency’s own guidance on GOV.UK, collected through its keyless content and search APIs — the detailed guides on marketing authorisations, clinical trials, medical devices, GMP and GDP inspection, pharmacovigilance and the post-Brexit and Windsor Framework arrangements, plus the Drug Safety Update, the agency’s pharmacovigilance bulletin to healthcare professionals. 1,024 documents at build (158 detailed guides and 866 Drug Safety Update articles), one record per document, each carrying its document type, the agency’s taxonomy and collections, its own change-note history and the Open Government Licence v3.0 the agency publishes under. The two document types in scope are the ones whose inline text was measured to be substantive; publications whose text lives in attachments are not included, and a document that credits third-party copyright is withheld rather than released. Every record carries its source URL, fetch timestamp, HTTP status and the SHA-256 of both the raw response and the extracted record. Every release ships a manifest with every file’s SHA-256 and a Merkle root over every chunk hash, which the buyer can recompute from the downloaded files. record_id and chunk_id are stable across releases. Personal data is screened out inside the pipeline before any hash is computed.
