Neighbourhood Profile

Why this page: when patients can’t get a routine GP appointment — the 8am scramble — demand doesn’t disappear, it moves. It surfaces downstream as NHS 111 calls routed back to primary care, and as walk-in (Type 3) A&E attendances at UTCs, MIUs and walk-in centres. Reading GP access pressure alongside those urgent-care substitution signals is the point of this view.

How to read it: the KPI tiles show the latest month for each measure at its honest grain. The relational trend pairs this PCN’s GP demand with the region’s 111→primary-care share and England’s A&E Type 3 share, indexed so they move on one scale.

Grain & methodology: A&E Type 3 share is ENGLAND-level only (the A&E source is provider/trust grain with no ICB/region link, so it is never attributed below England). For local context the nearest acute trust serving this scope is shown with its own Type-3 share, chosen by straight-line distance — a GEOGRAPHIC PROXY for who serves the neighbourhood (we hold no patient-flow / HES attendance-by-residence data), not an attribution. The 111→primary-care share is the patient’s NHS REGION (resolved from this PCN’s practices via the ODS tree). 111’s finest published cut is the IUC contract area (an ICB-aligned footprint), so the tile shows the share for NORTH EAST LONDON ICB — the scope’s OWN ICB, matched to it by name — compared to its parent NHS region (LONDON COMMISSIONING REGION), the honest “closer to home” benchmark. Only GP appointments per 1,000 registered patients is attributed to this PCN. Lines are indexed to 100 at the window start and show correlation, not causation.
