Enhanced Access Planner 2026/27

Required vs Planned

Compares each practice's planned appointment hours per week against their required allocation. The grey bar is the requirement — the coloured bar shows planned delivery. Green = requirement met, red = shortfall.

Surplus / Shortfall

The net gap between planned and required hours per practice. Bars extending right (green) indicate surplus capacity; bars extending left (red) indicate a shortfall. Use this to identify which practices need more sessions allocated.

% of Requirement Met

Each practice's planned capacity as a percentage of their required allocation. The grey bar marks the 100% target — practices whose coloured bar reaches or passes it are fully compliant. Practices below 100% have a shortfall.

Appointment Slots per 1,000 Patients / wk

Appointment slots delivered per 1,000 adjusted weighted patients each week. This reflects appointment access density — a higher figure means more appointments available relative to list size. The target slot rate varies with appointment length (e.g. 4 slots/1,000/wk at 15-min appointments).
