Introduction
These profiles are designed to support GPs, primary care networks (PCNs), clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and local authorities to ensure that they are providing and commissioning effective and appropriate healthcare services for their local population.
The latest available data, in particular for Quality and Outcomes Framework indicators and a new Maternal and Child health topic, will be released on 11 January 2022. For more up-to-date Cancer indicators please see Cancer Services
In addition to viewing individual practice profiles, you can view summary profiles for PCNs, CCGs and other higher geographies. Each practice can be compared with the CCG or PCN and England.
For the mapping of GPs to PCNs we are currently using the epcn file (28 October 2021) and aggregated values are based on this mapping which may differ e.g. from QOF PCN values and previously published PCN values where there have been changes in the meantime.
Using a variety of graphical displays such as spine charts and population pyramids, the tool presents a range of practice-level indicators drawn from the latest available data, including:
- Local demography
- Quality and Outcomes Framework domains
- Cancer Services
- Antibiotic prescribing
- Patient satisfaction
The profiles do not provide an exhaustive list of primary care indicators, but they do allow a consistent approach to comparing and benchmarking across England.
For more information consult the User guide and FAQs.
Profiles are generated for all practices in QOF 2020/21 with a list size of at least 750 patients and for other practices if they had according to NHS digital in April 2021 a list size of at least 750 patients and there exists valid GP patient survey data for the practice for the same year. For details see: Rules for inclusion and list of included practices.
