Model your session delivery and check it meets the NHS England specification.
The NHS England Enhanced Access specification requires PCNs to provide 60 minutes of appointment capacity per 1,000 adjusted weighted patients per week.
Enter your adjusted list size and session model below to see whether your planned delivery meets the requirement.
How to get started:
Search for your PCN below or type in your adjusted weighted list size — the session planner will then appear.
For a full practice-level breakdown of required capacity and compliance, use the PCN search to pre-fill your practice list.

Practice List Sizes & Required Capacity
Adjusted weighted list sizes are pre-filled from NHS data (read-only). Required minutes default to 60 mins per 1,000 adjusted patients —
redistribute them between practices to reflect your PCN's actual EA delivery arrangement (e.g. set non-participating practices to 0).

Gap
Status
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).
