FY19 Statistics

As the calendar rolls over to a new financial year, it’s the perfect opportunity to look at our statistics and learn from our past.

As our members know, we always do our best to monitor the needs of our anaesthetists and their patients. We’re forever learning and embracing feedback.

So… what do we know?
Site data tells us a lot about our service, who is using it, when and also how. We thought we’d share some of the biggest revelations with you… Perhaps some may even surprise you!

Privacy is paramount

Our data comes from Google Analytics and monitoring figures from the website. Of course, these tools never record any data entered by your patients. The audience data, which tells us their gender and age, for example, comes purely from Google’s recognition tools and DOTS name validation. Similarly, Google doesn’t give us any personal information. Instead, we receive fascinating statistics reports, enabling us to provide a better service to you and your patients!

We find these facts fascinating, and think they could certainly help our anaesthetists when choosing when to remind patients about their pre-op form.
