OpenSAFELY Service Restoration Observatory Key Measures of Primary Care Activity During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on delivery of NHS care. We have developed the OpenSAFELY Service Restoration Observatory (SRO) to describe this impact on primary care activity and monitor its recovery. This report describes changes in activity throughout the pandemic for 11 key measures of primary care activity, selected in collaboration with a clinical advisory group considering the following criteria: high volume usage, clinically relevant to front-line practice and whether they are more widely indicative of other problems in service delivery across the NHS.
