National Data Sets are collections of data published online by NHS England or other sources. Ardens gathers this data after publication and imports it into various Ardens Manager dashboards, allowing organisations to track and monitor it in one central location.

NHSE recieved partial submission for April 2026 from EConsult, iPlato and Klinik, so data for practices using these systems will be incomplete
FAQs
Q: If I update our appointment slots types now will our previous months extracts be updated too?
A: Not that we are aware of, GPAD extracts their data every month and so once the data has been extracted, we do not believe the data is extracted again.
