GP Appointments and GPAD¶
Haresign supports two appointment-related use cases:
- reviewing published GP appointment activity;
- analysing local appointment extracts where a deeper upload-based review is available.
GP Appointments Dashboard¶
Use the dashboard to understand published appointment activity across practices, PCNs, and wider geographies.
What It Shows¶
- total appointment volume;
- attended, DNA, and unknown-status counts;
- GP and non-GP appointment split;
- appointment mode;
- booking-to-appointment wait bands;
- same-day and within-window access indicators;
- peer and geography comparisons.
How To Use It¶
- Select a practice, PCN, or geography.
- Choose the reporting month.
- Start with total activity and attendance status.
- Review mode, category, and wait-band breakdowns.
- Compare against the right context, such as PCN or England.
Interpretation Notes¶
Appointment data is affected by appointment-book configuration, slot mapping, local workflows, and supplier behaviour. A value can reflect both operational activity and local coding practice.
GPAD Analyser¶
Use GPAD Analyser when you have an appropriate local appointment extract and need more detailed mapping or slot-level insight.
What It Shows¶
- data-quality and mapping warnings;
- appointment and booking patterns;
- slot, session, or category pressure points;
- improvement prompts;
- board-report style summaries.
How To Use It¶
- Prepare the expected appointment extract.
- Upload the file through the analyser.
- Review data-quality warnings first.
- Use the dashboard tabs to move from overview to detailed findings.
- Export or summarise outputs where supported.
Checks Before Acting¶
- Does the extract cover the intended dates?
- Are all appointment books included?
- Are local categories mapped consistently?
- Do totals align with local operational expectations?
