Central Liverpool NHS Primary Care Trust Patient Profiling Conclusion It is live information about people accessing our PCT. It can be used to plan, organise and deliver service. It is only as good as the information put into it. It is not a magic tool and will not solve general issues. It is brilliant in identifying / targeting the gaps in population, service, access etc.
