     5== Options
     61. Import data from HSCIC web site.
     72. Import the data from the UHL data warehouse.
     8
     9== 1. HSCIC
     10
     11The data files are downloadable from the following page: http://systems.hscic.gov.uk/data/ods/datadownloads/gppractice.
     12
     13New files are release quarterly, but update files are released monthly (http://systems.hscic.gov.uk/data/ods/datadownloads/monthamend/index_html)
     14
     15== 2. UHL Data Warehouse
     16
     17The data is stored in the {{{DWREPO_BASE}}} database.  The tables are:
     18
     19* MF_GP_OCS (GPs)
     20* MF_GP_PRACTICE_OCS (Practices)
     21
     22There are other tables with similar names, but I don't know how they differ from the ones above.
     23
     24It may be possible to use the SHA codes of the GPs to filter the details for the Leicestershire area.
     25
     26These tables are recreated from scratch on a weekly basis, but the source from which they are created is the quarterly file above.
