• Offers simple analysis to assess relationships between indicators and changes in those indicators over time
• Allows users to enter additional data about their practices to support local priorities and insights
• Allows users to set up their preferred practice peers groups (e.g. CCGs or localities) and benchmark between the groups and between the groups.
• Practices can benchmark against those with a similar IMD throughout the reports.

For optimal performance please ensure your Excel macro security setting is 'low' before opening the application.
