WMPHO is working alongside other public health observatories on this APHO national project. The aim of the project is to create practice level profiles for the whole of England. These profiles will help to assist GP practices and PCTs to ensure that they are providing and commissioning an adequate level of effective and appropriate healthcare services for their local population. The profiles will contain information that can be used for both practice and PCT commissioning, for local needs assessment, for monitoring of population health and service use, and for clinical governance reviews.
