Summary

KeRNEL Primary Care Appointment Table

Documentation

This table records that activity has taken place between a patient and member of clinical staff working on behalf of a GP practice in an appointment 'slot', a pre-arranged opportunity in the rota for that clinician that was booked to be taken by this specific patient. GP practices sometimes use Clinic Lists that have slots but it is not possible to pre-book appointments into these slots, even though the clinical activity delivered in the time period may be exactly the same. Sometimes Clinic lists are retrospectively rearranged into appointments: e.g.when the GP has completed a ward round and only then knows who they have seen. This table also includes Did Not Attends (DNAs) which means that no patient contact took place.
