What this tells you · These figures read across A&E (nearest acute trust), NHS 111, urgent community response, ambulance and GP appointments for England. Urgent-care activity is held at several different grains — A&E at acute-trust level, 111 at its IUC contract area (ICB-aligned), UCR at ICB — so each panel is labelled with the grain it is honestly at. The A&E figures show the nearest serving trust, a geographic proxy, not the England average.
No nearest acute trust could be resolved for this scope (provider/practice coordinates not cached), so A&E Type-3 falls back to the England average.
NHS 111 / IUC is published no finer than the IUC contract area (ICB-aligned); no contract area matched this scope's ICB, so the calls and disposition mix above are for England, the scope's NHS region, not the practice or PCN.
The 2-hour UCR standard is published at ICB grain — shown for England (England).
Ambulance (AQI) is published at England / ambulance-service grain and does not map to a GP scope, so it is shown as England SYSTEM context.
GP same-day share (PCND-192) is a newer GPAD cut, captured for one month at a time so far — it is shown alongside, not instead of, ALL-MODE GP appointments per 1,000, the longer-running access signal.
Per-practice comparison is shown at ICB / borough / PCN scope (too many practices to table at National scope).

Where unplanned demand flows — 111 to outcome

○Wider area · EnglandNHS 111 / IUC · England

Out of every 1,000 NHS 111 dispositions, where do people end up? Wider bars = more people. Most are resolved with advice or primary care; the orange/red tail is hospital- or ambulance-bound. This is real disposition data for the scope’s NHS region.

Per 1,000 dispositions, Jun 2026 · 1,646,969 111 calls offered · 92.5% answered · England (NHS region grain). 111 / IUC has no UCR/community disposition category, so the mockup’s “→ UCR / community” step is not shown.

Leakage — GP access vs nearest-trust A&E Type-3

○Wider area · nearest acute trustGPAD × nearest-trust A&E

Each dot is a practice. Left = harder GP access (fewer appointments per 1,000); up = a higher minor-A&E (Type-3) share at the practice’s nearest acute trust. The upward-left cloud is the leakage signal — patients reaching A&E where same-mode GP access is tightest. The trust value is a geographic proxy (practices sharing a trust share a y-value).

This scatter needs at least two practices with both GP-appointment and nearest-trust A&E data in scope (provider/practice coordinates must be cached).

UCR 2-hour performance

○Wider area · EnglandUCR (2-hour) · England

Urgent community response is the service designed to reach people at home within 2 hours instead of sending an ambulance or admitting them. Higher is better. Shown at the scope’s parent ICB.

Demand by channel over time

○Wider area · A&E + 111A&E (nearest trust) + 111 + GPAD

The three urgent-care channels we can track monthly. Watch whether GP appointment capacity moves in the opposite direction to A&E and 111 — that's the substitution effect. The A&E line is the nearest acute trust's own Type-3 share (geographic proxy); 111 is NHS region-grain (England); GP appointments are scope-grain.

System-level ambulance performance, England-wide. Category 1 is life-threatening, Category 2 is emergency. The ambulance trusts do not map to a GP scope, so this is shown as England system context.

GP access by deprivation

○Catchment-weighted · LSOAGPAD × IoD2025

In-scope practices grouped by the deprivation of the patients they serve (decile 1 = most deprived, placed against the national distribution). Bars show all-mode GP appointments per 1,000; the dashed line is the scope average. A&E can’t be sliced by patient deprivation (it’s trust-grain), so we show the GP-access side of the leakage story.

GP-access-by-deprivation needs the catchment-weighting layer and at least two populated deciles in scope.

One sortable row per practice across the per-practice signals we hold: all-mode GP access, the practice’s nearest acute trust and that trust’s A&E Type-3 share, and catchment deprivation. (111 / UCR / ambulance are coarser grains and are not per-practice.) Click a column to re-sort; your practice is highlighted.
