The general practice postcode linkages are available for all practices in CPRD GOLD and CPRD Aurum and use the general practice postcode which is linked via LSOA, SOA in Northern Ireland and datazone (DZ) in Scotland. The general practice postcode linkage includes several well-known area-based measures of deprivation, of which two (Index of Multiple Deprivation and Carstairs Index) are available at the LSOA level for linkage to CPRD primary care data through the practice postcode.
Access is provided by CPRD subject to protocol approval. Further information is available at https://www.cprd.com/linked-data.
