Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) data set
The IAPT data set was developed with the IAPT programme as a patient level, output based, secondary uses data set which aims to deliver robust, comprehensive, nationally consistent and comparable information for patients accessing NHS-funded IAPT services in England.
This national data set has been collected since April 2012 and is a mandatory submission for all NHS funded care, including care delivered by independent sector healthcare providers.

The IAPT data set provides a comprehensive national picture of the use of IAPT services in England and supports a variety of secondary use functions such as:
- commissioning
- clinical audit
- research
- service planning
- inspection and regulation
- monitoring government policies and legislation
- local and national performance management and bench marking
