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

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.

This month, Springfield Surgery saw a notable drop in total appointments, with 2499 appointments recorded compared to the trailing average of 3061.5. This represents a significant decrease of 18%.
Several trends and step changes are worth noting. Firstly, the percentage of same-day appointments has decreased by 2.6% month-on-month. Secondly, the phone consultation percentage has dropped by 1.3% month-on-month. Lastly, the triage percentage saw a sharp decline of 40.2% in July.
To investigate these trends, the practice manager should review the scheduling practices for same-day and phone appointments. Additionally, the significant drop in triage percentage in July should be examined to understand if it is due to a change in policy or operational issues.
