Pick any GP practice or PCN to see how its monthly appointment activity stacks up against its PCN, Sub-ICB and the whole of England — access, attendance, urgency and waits, all drawn from NHS Digital's Appointments in General Practice (GPAD) dataset.
GPAD categorises appointments using NHS Digital's national mapping. Some appointment types may be categorised differently to how a practice records them locally.
