These data were used to calculate an individual GP's chlamydia testing rate among patients aged 16 to 29 years for 2010, and while we refer to it as a chlamydia testing 'rate' throughout this manuscript, it is actually a measure of patients who had a chlamydia test proportionate to patients who had a consultation.
