About this publication
Data for the latest reporting month can be viewed in the interactive dashboard. Starting in February 2020, the dashboard now displays the ‘patients registered for at least one online service’ measure, as well as some timeseries views. Underlying data is available in the following csv files.
Data for each reporting year is provided in csv files below. The metadata file includes details of known data quality issues, and a guide to using the csv files.
The outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to unprecedented changes in the work and behaviour of General Practices and subsequently the Patient Online Management Information data within this publication. The variation in approach to appointment and management of services between practices is likely to be greater than usual during the COVID-19 outbreak and as a result data quality will be impacted. These quality issues impose limitations on what can be inferred from this data.
Months where data is likely to be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak are highlighted in the metadata document below.
