Were rapid test results ready to discuss with the GP in the same appointment?

Patients have their rapid tests taken shortly before seeing the GP. We measure how often the expected results are ready in time for the GP to review and discuss them during that appointment.

Ready during the appointment

of expected rapid test results were ready for the GP to review with the patient in the same appointment.

Based on rapid test results from test-and-treat appointments between 3 May and 31 July 2026.

For this measure, a result counts as ready when it was available to the GP at least seven minutes before the appointment ended.

How soon were consultation notes completed?

We track how long it takes our GPs to complete the clinical record after each appointment, helping prescriptions, referrals and follow-up care move forward promptly.
