Where (IRLAM) SALFORD CARE CTRS MEDICAL PRACTI stands out — April 2026
| Measure | Value | National centile | Position | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SABA inhaler items per 1,000 patients | 49.2 | 99th | among the highest in England — review | High SABA use signals poor asthma control (National Review of Asthma Deaths). |
| Gabapentinoid items per 1,000 patients | 51.4 | 97th | among the highest in England — review | Class C since 2019; misuse and dependence concerns. |
| Antibacterial items per 1,000 patients | 47.4 | 89th | higher than 8 in 10 practices | Antimicrobial stewardship headline; a standard contract and ICB scrutiny metric. |
| Opioid analgesic items per 1,000 patients | 50.3 | 89th | higher than 8 in 10 practices | Reducing long-term opioid use in chronic pain is a national priority. |
| Prescribing cost per patient | £15.92 | 69th | a little above typical | Headline efficiency metric; contextual rather than a target. |
| Benzodiazepine and Z-drug items per 1,000 patients | 17.8 | 63rd | a little above typical | Dependence-forming medicines; long-term use should be exceptional. |
| Broad-spectrum antibiotics as % of all antibiotics | 8.1% | 58th | typical or better | Broad-spectrum agents drive resistance and C. difficile risk; national stewardship target. |
| DOACs as % of oral anticoagulants | 89.6% | 55th | typical or better | Context for AF management; the right level depends on local policy, so this measure is shown without a rating. |
| Dosulepin as % of all antidepressants | 0.1% | 41st | typical or better | NICE do-not-do: high toxicity in overdose. Should trend to zero. |
