NCL Wide

The Medicines Optimisation Team has released the Prescribing Quality Scheme (PQS) 2024-25 dashboard with data for April to June 2024. This data provides insights into prescribing performance at the practice and PCN levels. 

Data insights

The dashboard allows practices to:

  • evaluate prescribing performance, highlights performance against 2024-25 PQS target-based indicators and entry-level indicators
  • track progress, practices/PCNs can monitor progress toward set targets
  • benchmark, compare performance with other practices in the same PCN and across other PCNs within NCL ICB.

Dashboard overview

  • Frequency and period covered, the dashboard will be updated quarterly for the first six months of the financial year. Thereafter a rolling 3-month period will be available until March 2025.
  • Data, the dashboard is password protected to ensure data integrity, eliminating the risk of accidental changes or errors. As the data source is in the public domain, we can share it on the NCL General Practice Website.
