MHRA approval is just the start. From the dm+d effective date to the first stable month of prescribing, your product has to land at NHSBSA, at every wholesaler, and in every prescribing system in the country. Each step has its own cadence and its own way of going wrong. Vima Access watches every step on a weekly cycle for the first 12 months.
Every launch is the same shape. dm+d goes effective, NHSBSA processes the submission, wholesalers update their catalogues, prescribing systems pick up the new code, and (eventually) the first scripts get written. Each one has a lag pattern and a cutoff. Miss a cutoff and you wait a month for the next window.
During the 12-month launch window, the SKU sits on a weekly verification cycle (instead of the steady-state quarterly). That cadence matches the speed at which the NHS systems actually move. The platform handles what it can detect on its own; the Vima Clinical team handles the rest.
When the underlying panels move, the matching milestone closes. dm+d goes effective, the regulatory milestone closes. AAH lists the pack, the wholesaler-stocking milestone closes for that wholesaler. Manual entry only for things that don't have a data source.
NHSBSA submission past the 10-working-day window. EMIS listing more than 6 weeks behind the dm+d effective date. Optum MKB cutoff approaching. Vima flags slips against the cadence each downstream system actually operates.
Every watched launch, in your inbox at 08:00 UK. What progressed yesterday, what's still open, what's at risk. Same view your team sees on the platform, summarised.
The Launch Tracker is the operational view your access team works through during a launch. Six milestone categories grouped by phase, with auto-detected closures wherever the platform has data and manual entry where it does not. The example to the right is illustrative; real launches show the customer’s actual products and dates.
Illustrative only. The Launch Tracker renders against the customer’s real launch data when in use.
