In this month’s publication we have published additional data files relating to activity recorded in the April 2023 primary submission window. These files are intended to be sources of additional information and not to replace the regular monthly publication using Final data. A publication using April Final data will be released as normal next month. The additional files included in this month’s publication are:
IAPT Monthly Activity Data File – April 2023 Primary ("iapt_month_apr_2023_activity_primary.csv")
Report on Employment Adviser IAPT services pilot – Primary Data File, April 2023 ("iapt_month_apr_2023_ea_primary.csv”)
These files can be downloaded from the Resources section at the bottom of the page.
Please note that providers not submitting data prior to the close of the Primary window (25th May 2023) will not have data included in the April Primary files.

Activity
NHS England also publishes a wide range of information about activity in the IAPT programme within the month.
37.8% of all referrals that ended completed a course of treatment
The chart below shows the relative volumes of referrals that were received, had accessed services, ended, and finished a course of treatment in each month.
There is a degree of seasonality in these volumes, with slightly less activity around December. There is higher activity where there are more working days in the month.
It is important to note that these numbers are not based on the same group of referrals as each other. A referral that was received in March 2023 did not necessarily enter treatment in this month, and is less likely again to have ended in the month.
The number of referrals that finished a course of treatment is a subset of all referrals that ended in the month. In March 2023, 37.8% of referrals that ended had finished a course of IAPT treatment. Referrals can end having had different levels of contact with the service; these are shown in the chart below.
The chart below shows a further breakdown of the referrals that finished a course of treatment in Quarter 4 2022/23.
Each quarter, more detailed data are published about activity. The most recent quarterly data, Quarter 4 2022/23⁴, can be found at: Psychological Therapies: reports on the use of IAPT services, England, March 2023 Final including a report on the IAPT Employment Advisers pilot and Quarter 4 2022-23 data.
⁴ Percentages for each variable will not sum to 100% as a subgroup was either not recorded or was recorded using an invalid code for some records.
