Ranking: share within two weeks, highest first

How we count, source and method

The figures are NHS England’s Appointments in General Practice: for each practice and month, the appointments that took place, and how long after booking, in the categories of NHS England’s measure ACC-08. Each practice is shown with its latest month.

  • The ranking needs enough appointments. Only practices with at least 100 appointments in the month are ranked, the same threshold as when appointments count towards the Practice Grade.
  • The data are official statistics in development. They come from practices’ booking systems, practices record differently, and the time from booking is not the whole wait.
