Things to consider
1. Prescribing — measures needing review outlier
4 of 11 prescribing measures flagged against all England practices (outlier: Antibacterial items per 1,000 patients).
What you could do: Open the flagged measure on the prescribing dashboard and see whether a few prescribers or a repeat template drive it. A pharmacist-led review of the top items usually settles an outlier within two months.
Open the detail →2. Childhood immunisations at the 95% ambition one or more courses below 90%
MMR1 at 86.7% by age two against a 95% ambition, down from 91.7% in 2025-26 Q4: around 1 of this year's 15 two-year-olds short of the 95% ambition.
What you could do: Run a search for children turning two in the next three months who are missing MMR1 and book them with the practice nurse. Text reminders with a booking link and a Saturday catch-up clinic move this fastest, and the vaccinations dashboard counts how many children you need to reach 95% on every course. Each dose attracts an item-of-service payment.
Open the detail →3. Cervical screening at the 80% standard an age group below 75%
72.5% of women aged 25 to 49 screened against an 80% standard (England 66.7%), down from 73.9% in 2023/24.
What you could do: Pull the list of women aged 25 to 49 who are overdue and text them a direct booking link; evening or Saturday nurse slots and a reminder at any other contact are what shift this. Ask your ICB whether self-sampling is available for non-attenders. Cervical screening counts towards QOF (CS005).
Open the detail →Also flagged: learning disability health checks (well behind England), NHS App uptake (a little below England) and same-day appointments (a little below England).
Suggested actions are general good practice, not tailored advice.
What patients see
Anyone entering a postcode on Arjus Find a GP sees the practices covering it side by side, each shaded against the England average, with an overall score.
