The mhra dataset covers safety alerts from the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency: device safety notices, drug alerts, and recalls. Records include the alert headline and description plus the full attached documents with per-page extracted text, so you can search what an alert actually says.
Requires the MHRA dataset’s Evidence scope. See the Evidence overview for how scopes work.

​
Search alerts

Each item in results includes filename, domain, url, and attachments. Attachments carry extras (headLine, description, contentHtml), file metadata, ontology tags/categories, and pages with extracted text (content) for full-document search. Call GET /api_partner/evidence/mhra/schema for filterable fields, and use the facets endpoint to aggregate by category or date.

​
Single alert

GET /api_partner/evidence/mhra/{item_id} returns one full alert with its attachments.

​
Common uses

  • Recall monitoring: watch for new alerts mentioning a product category or manufacturer.
  • Cross-jurisdiction safety view: pair MHRA alerts with FDA MAUDE and FAERS reports to compare UK and US signals for the same product.
  • Compliance research: full-text search of alert documents supports precise queries (model numbers, lot references) that headline-only feeds miss.
