    About and methodology

    How to use

    1. Search a postcode.
    2. Choose radius and NHS acceptance mode.
    3. Toggle overlays and compare local area percentile.

    Methodology

    “Accepting NHS adults/children” is self-reported and can be stale; it does not guarantee appointment availability.

    Access pressure = practices per 10,000 residents. Dental desert risk combines practice density, adult acceptance density, and deprivation.
