Long-term trends in English general practice consultation rates from 1995 to 2021: a retrospective analysis of two electronic health records databases
Trends in general practice consultation showed three distinct epochs: rising from 1995 to 2012, falling from 2012 to 2019 and rising in Aurum but falling in Gold from 2019 to 2021. Consultation rates in Gold were higher than Aurum until the inclusion of a new consultation code in Aurum in 2019, which underscores the need for operational definitions of a consultation.
