Explore variation with your member practices.
Find a PCN directly—or search for a practice—to compare recorded access patterns across the network and frame a constructive local conversation.

One network, several recorded positions
See each member practice alongside a denominator-weighted PCN result, England and the local Sub-ICB benchmark.
Variation is the starting point
Use the prompts to explore coding, workflows, capacity, patient choice and opportunities for shared learning.
PCN comparisons in context
PCN weighted results
Each PCN figure is calculated from the published member-practice percentages weighted by the corresponding appointment denominator. It is not a simple average of percentages.
Appointments per 1,000 patients
The member value is published in Table 1. The PCN figure is total recorded appointments divided by total registered list size, multiplied by 1,000. It gives essential volume context, but does not show unmet demand, total workload or whether capacity was sufficient.
Direction indicators
For these three timeliness measures, a higher percentage is directionally favourable: more appointments were dealt with within the stated time. Up means above the 75th percentile, down means below the 25th, and a dash means the national middle 50%. This is useful context, not an overall rating of practice quality.
Responsible use
Consider several months, denominators, patient experience and local operational knowledge. GPAD does not measure total workload, unmet demand, available capacity or care quality.
