Latest Import Dates and Coverage

The data sources available in OpenSAFELY-TPP, along with a description and a graphic showing the coverage of each data source over time. The darker the blue, the more daily events. The red line indicates the latest import date - but please note that 'last updated' is when the data was last loaded but does not mean the data has changed. Hover over the chart to see more details.

All Import Dates

Date ranges:

  1. The most recent 30 days for which there is event activity
  2. Event activity from the first occurrence on or after 1 February 2020 to the last occurrence on or before the report run date (17 October 2025)
  3. Event activity from the first occurrence on or after 1 January 2016 to the last occurrence on or before the report run date (17 October 2025)

The OpenSAFELY-TPP database only includes patients who were registered at GP practices using TPP's SystmOne clinical information system (which is used by roughly 40% of GP practices) on or after 1 January 2009, including those patients who have since deregistered or died. The OpenSAFELY-TPP database therefore captures event activity for these patients only.

APCS

The APCS data comes from two underlying database tables. APCS contains data from March 2022 onwards while APCS_ARCHIVED contains data up to March 2024 - NB these tables overlap. This complexity is hidden from users via ehrQL which combines the two tables to provide a single view of the data. However for completeness the plots for both tables are shown below.

APCS_ARCHIVED

The APCS data comes from two underlying database tables. APCS contains data from March 2022 onwards while APCS_ARCHIVED contains data up to March 2024 - NB these tables overlap. This complexity is hidden from users via ehrQL which combines the two tables to provide a single view of the data. However for completeness the plots for both tables are shown below.
