GP Appointment Extract - England Only

NHS England requires the collection of appointment and utilisation data from all general practices. The GP Appointment Extract enables an overview of planned appointment capacity and how appointments are utilised.

Every Monday evening data is collected to show a forward look of planned appointments capacity within your practice for the next three months. Each week the data is backdated to 20th November 2018.

• Managed Server - The GP Appointment Extract is run and the resulting extract submitted automatically on a weekly basis.

• Local Server - You must add the GP Appointment Extract to your GPC Scheduler, see Setting up your GP Appointment Extract Schedule - England only for details.
