Overview
- Summary of dataset and variables
This shows the monthly estimated number of appointments by appointment status (attended or not attended), measure (number of appointments or average number of appointments per working day) and area (health board and cluster).
- Data collection or calculation
The term ‘appointment’ refers to all patient-related activities recorded in a general practice’s appointment book. The large majority of activities recorded will be traditional appointments where a patient has a consultation with a GP, nurse or other health professional. The term will also capture some other activities which staff perform for patients, but without having a consultation (such as a medicine review) if it’s recorded in the appointment book. It will not capture any patient related activities which are not recorded in the appointment book.
- Statistical quality
There is an ongoing programme to roll-out a single appointment system to all practices in Wales, that is planned for completion by summer 2026. This means that some practices have transitioned systems around the data reference dates, which may lead to additional data quality issues. Where data quality issues are identified, they are shared with Digital Health and Care Wales who work with health boards and practices to improve data quality. The statistics for the most recent quarter are based on the data as initially recorded. Erroneous data are usually edited in the source data after publication and statistics are then revised in the subsequent quarter’s publication.
