Browse the online database to find the results for your local surgery.
Other searches will compare your local GP practice against other GP practices in the local area and the national results across England.
In terms of scale, the data for QOF are collected from 6,720 GP practices with over 60 million registered patients in England.
The QOF is a component of the GP contract, introduced in 2004. Achievement is measured for indicators in four areas, known as ‘domains’:
- Clinical: consists of 56 indicators across 19 clinical areas (e.g. chronic kidney disease, heart failure, hypertension) worth up to a maximum of 379 points.
- Public health: consists of six indicators (worth up to 95 points) across four clinical areas – blood pressure, cardiovascular disease – primary prevention, obesity 18+ and smoking 15+.
- Public health – additional services: consists of two indicators (worth up to 11 points) across tone service area – cervical screening.
- Quality improvement: consists of four indicators (worth up to 74 points) across two areas – prescribing safety and end of life care.
For accessibility purposes, all conditions/measures within public health and public health additional services are to be found under the one heading ‘Public Health’.
By checking the options in the display panel you can compare:
- practice result against local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) Average scores
- practice result against England Average score
- clinical achievement results for your practice against local CCG Average results
- clinical achievement results for your practice against England Average results
The sample of the output chart above shows the results for some of the clinical indicator groups for an individual GP practice.
As well as displaying the latest 2019/20 results, the chart also displays the current year's Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and England averages.
Similar charts are available for the total achievement results, the three individual domain results, the underlying achievement details and personalised care adjustments data for the individual indicators within each indicator group.
Clinical prevalence is also presented; this relates to the number of patients with a particular condition expressed as a percentage of the practice list size. QOF payments include prevalence adjustments but these are not reflected in the publication of QOF data, which presents only raw prevalence figures.
