Limited classification in NHS Digital return
390 appointments were recorded for August 2025 without an appointment mode (Face-to-Face / Phone / Video) or a wait-time band — every record falls into "Unknown" at source. The mode-mix, wait-distribution and same-day cards therefore cannot be displayed for this month.
This is a clinical-system template configuration at the practice (common with older TPP / EMIS setups that don't map appointment categories into the NHS Digital extract). The total volume above is accurate; only the breakdowns are unavailable.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Face-to-face % | 0.0% | 58.4% | -58.4% |
| Telephone % | 0.0% | 21.9% | -21.9% |

National averages computed across 6,144 GP practices. Green Δ = above national for "higher is better" KPIs; red = the opposite.

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 total number of appointments per thousand patients dropped by 5.5% compared to the practice's trailing average. The drop is consistent with a similar decline in the number of appointments per thousand patients.
There were no significant trends or step changes in the data this month. The DNA rate remained stable, and there were no notable shifts in face-to-face, telephone, or triage percentages.
Given the stable data, there are no immediate anomalies to investigate. However, it may be useful to review the total number of appointments per thousand patients to understand the cause of the recent decline.

- Using CQC review date (2023-07-06) as last assessment. Original inspection date: 2018-11-26.
- Current rating is good, and the latest CQC assessment date is 2023-07-06 (33 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.
