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 ↗
