As set out in the 2016 regulations, every GP practice in England is required to submit an online return twice a year through the Primary Care Web Tool. The third bi-annual extended access collection will be open for submission from 1 to 29 September 2017 inclusive.
You can access the module through the Primary Care Web Tool. This will set out what access to appointments the practice offers to patients either itself or through other arrangements, over evenings and weekends.
If you are a new practice manager or senior partner and require access, please register for the Primary Care Web Tool and contact your NHS England regional team to request relevant access.
Further guidance is available on NHS England's website. For further questions about the collection itself, for example clarification of the survey questions, please contact england.biannual@nhs.net
(Please note that this mailbox is only to be used for enquiries specifically relating to the bi-annual extended access collection only, and should not be used for any other data collection.)
