Vima Access is two layers. A platform that holds your portfolio’s data across every NHS source. And a specialist team that verifies findings and works alongside your market access lead when something needs putting right. Your team owns the function. We make them more effective.
Where the NHS publishes machine-readable data, the platform ingests it automatically and surfaces change the same day. Everywhere else, our specialists verify on a disciplined cycle — because some sources only give up their answers to a person who goes and looks. The model below is exactly what happens, every week and every quarter.
Pulls dm+d weekly from TRUD, NHSBSA prescribing monthly. Holds every panel's history with full provenance. Shows you what each NHS source has on file for each of your products.
Verify the sources that take human judgement, on quarterly cycles across every panel and every SKU. Investigate drift when surfaced. Draft NHSBSA queries and wholesaler correspondence on your behalf.
MA lead owns the function. We extend it; we do not replace it. You decide what to escalate, sign off on actions, and brief your brand and launch PMs through the same platform.
The platform pulls the NHS’s machine-readable sources automatically, holds every panel with full provenance, and surfaces drift the same day it appears. Everything else is kept current by the specialist verification cycle — and the platform always shows you which is which.
Some of the sources that matter most only give up their answers to a person who goes and looks. The Vima Clinical specialist team checks them on a disciplined cycle, knows what drift looks like when it appears, and steps in when intervention is needed.
Every panel, every SKU, every quarter. We check the clinical-system listings (EMIS, SystmOne, Vision, ProScript), wholesaler catalogues (AAH, Alliance, Phoenix), Drug Tariff classifications and prices, and ICB Formulary status. Each row gets a new last-verified-at and last-verified-by.
When a SKU is in active launch, the cycle compresses from quarterly to weekly. Same panels, same checks, faster cadence. The Launch Tracker auto-detects what the platform can; the specialists handle the rest.
When the platform flags something, a specialist investigates. Is the discontinued flag real, or did a system make a mistake? Is the new price a one-off concession or a permanent change? Specialists distinguish noise from real issues before your team has to.
When intervention is needed, we draft the NHSBSA query, contact the wholesaler, raise the ticket with Optum or FDB. The customer's MA lead reviews and authorises; we do the operational work.
Two hours of specialist time per SKU per year is pooled across your portfolio and included in every contract. Heavier engagements bill at our standard hourly rate above the included pool.
Vima Access is not a desk you outsource your MA function to. It is a platform your team uses every day, plus specialists who back them up when something hard breaks. The MA lead stays the owner. Brand and launch PMs get visibility through the same platform.
Drives the evaluation, runs the demo, signs off on actions. Sees every drift the platform flags, decides what gets escalated. Vima makes them measurably more effective; it does not replace them.
Signs the contract. Gets portfolio-level visibility on the dashboard and in the quarterly review call. Knows the answer to 'is anything broken right now' without having to chase the MA team for an update.
See the same platform their MA lead uses. Brand team can check their own products without asking. Launch PMs see the Launch Tracker in real time during the launch window.
Take one of the less dramatic but more common scenarios. A wholesaler catalogue lags a dm+d update by six weeks. Here is how the two layers handle it.
