Access KPIs · August 2025?NHS Digital — Appointments in General PracticeLatest published month. Same-day % = appointments booked & attended same day ÷ total. Appts per 1K = ALL booking rows ÷ (list size / 1000) — includes triage encounters, so a triage-first practice scores higher than a same-volume direct-book practice. 28+ day backlog = appts ≥28 days from booking ÷ total. Patient contacts per 1K = (face-to-face + telephone + video) ÷ (list size / 1000) — excludes triage and home visits, isolating the modes the patient actually experiences as care delivery. This is the cleaner demand-per-population comparator.Update cadence: MonthlyOpen source ↗

vs National average?Computed in-app from national rollupEach row shows this org's value minus the synthetic NATIONAL rollup (every GP practice in England aggregated using the same methodology). Negative = below national, positive = above. Direction colour-coded ("higher = better" or "lower = better" set per metric).Update cadence: Recomputed nightly
| KPI | This practice | National avg | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Same-day % | 50.4% | 43.0% | +7.4% |
| Face-to-face % | 65.9% | 58.4% | +7.5% |

Trends & anomalies — AI summary?Amazon Bedrock — Nova Lite, generated from this practice's analytics blockA short report-style summary written by Amazon Nova Lite from the practice's detected anomalies, step changes, 6-month trends, latest-month rates and demand-pressure band. The model is instructed to refuse to invent numbers and to call out only signals already present in the underlying tables. Cached at ORG#{ods}/ENRICH#access_narrative; invalidated when a new month of NHS Digital appointments data is published, and soft-stale after 30 days.Update cadence: Regenerated on data change or after 30 days
This month, the practice saw a notable increase in telephone appointments, rising by 32.3% from the previous month. The face-to-face percentage dropped by 11.2% compared to the trailing average, while the triage percentage surged by 89.9%. These shifts suggest a potential change in workflow or recording policies.
Several trends emerged, including a significant rise in triage appointments, up by 29.1% over the period, and a notable increase in same-day appointments, up by 4.9%. The DNA rate also decreased by 30% in 2025-08. These changes may reflect operational pressures or shifts in patient demand.
To investigate these changes, review the phone-mix shift in 2025-08 to see if it aligns with a system change. Also, verify if the dip in face-to-face appointments in 2025-08 is due to a recording artefact or a genuine change in practice.

CQC inspection likelihood?Build It Medical — inspection likelihood modelModel output combining months since last CQC inspection, current rating, complaint signal and known incidents. Bands: High / Medium / Low / Unknown. Not a CQC official figure — an internal triage indicator.Update cadence: Recomputed nightly
- Current rating is good, and the latest CQC assessment date is 2024-10-16 (18 months ago).
- Report date falls outside the 2017–2022 focused-assessment window signal.
- Model is directional: 2 supporting signals are currently unavailable.
- CQC focused assessments reference 10 non-clinical quality statements and typically provide at least 5 working days notice.
Modelled likelihood of a CQC inspection in the next 12 months. Combines current rating, time since last inspection, and recent regulatory activity. Not an official CQC indicator.
