Practices with exactly the same grade share a place and are listed A to Z. Practices next to each other are often so close that another year could swap them.
The Practice Grade is on a scale of 0 to 100. The response rate and the number of survey answers show how large the base is: more answers give a surer grade. The trend column shows overall experience (the share of patients who describe the practice as good), 2024–2026, from the GP Patient Survey (question 32). It is the survey part of the Practice Grade, not the grade itself. Practices with fewer than 3 yearly results are shown without a curve.
The practices without a place follow the ranked ones, A to Z, with their figures: those with too few survey answers, those that serve one group of patients, and those the grade cannot place clearly.

57.7% of patients aged 65 and over registered with GP practices in Barking and Dagenham had a flu vaccine between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026 (14,251 of 24,713). England: 74.5%.
| Who | Barking and Dagenham | England |
|---|---|---|
| Aged 65 and over14,251 of 24,713 | 57.7% | 74.5% |
| Under 65 in a clinical risk group14,001 of 44,057 | 31.8% | 40.6% |
| Pregnant women862 of 3,222 | 26.8% | 38.4% |
| Children aged 2978 of 3,340 | 29.3% | 43.5% |
| Children aged 3941 of 3,511 | 26.8% | 44.8% |
The counts follow the GP practice, not where people live. They include vaccinations given in GP practices, pharmacies and other places that are recorded in the GP record. 99.3% of practices sent data. UKHSA says the number counted as pregnant may be too high, so uptake among pregnant women is probably understated.

Hospital care and dementia
| Measure | Barking and Dagenham | England |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency hospital admissions for falls, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 1,565 to 1,949 | 1,749 | 1,958 |
| Hip fractures, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 402 to 610 | 498 | 536 |
| Estimated dementia diagnosis rate, people aged 65 and over2026, as at 31 March, likely range 55.3 to 69.9 | 63.1% | 66.3% |
The hospital figures are age-standardised, so an older population does not raise them. Since 2022/23 some hospital trusts report same-day emergency care in another dataset, which can lower the admissions counted.
The dementia rate is the number of people with a recorded diagnosis out of the number estimated to have dementia. It is counted by where the practice is, not where patients live.
Care homes
| Measure | Barking and Dagenham | England |
|---|---|---|
| Care home beds per 100 people aged 75 and over2025 | 7.7 | 8.3 |
