Outpatient Activity Edit

Patients who require the medical opinion of a specialist clinician may be referred to an outpatient clinic for treatment or investigation. An outpatient is a patient who attends a consultant or other medical clinic or has an arranged meeting with a consultant or a senior member of their team outside of a clinic session. Outpatients are not admitted to a hospital and do not use a hospital bed.\r\n\r\nOutpatient attendances can be categorised as new or follow-up (return) attendances. Please note that there have been outpatient methodological changes for this publication. Previously, the ISD(S)1 outpatients data source was used for return outpatient activity due to poorer completeness for historical SMR00 return outpatients. SMR00 return outpatients data are now more complete meaning SMR00 data can be used for both new and return outpatients. As a result, publications from February 2025 onwards will not be directly comparable to previous publications.
