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.

72.2% of patients aged 65 and over registered with GP practices in Brighton and Hove had a flu vaccine between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026 (33,552 of 46,496). England: 74.5%.

Who	Brighton and Hove	England
Aged 65 and over33,552 of 46,496	72.2%	74.5%
Under 65 in a clinical risk group19,745 of 46,547	42.4%	40.6%

Children aged 21,027 of 2,043	50.3%	43.5%
Children aged 31,103 of 2,223	49.6%	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.

This card shows flu only. We have not found local authority figures for last winter’s COVID-19 vaccination from UKHSA.

Hospital care and dementia

Measure	Brighton and Hove	England
Emergency hospital admissions for falls, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 2,547 to 2,865	2,702	1,958
Hip fractures, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 468 to 611	536	536
Estimated dementia diagnosis rate, people aged 65 and over2026, as at 31 March, likely range 59.6 to 73.1	66.7%	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	Brighton and Hove	England
Care home beds per 100 people aged 75 and over2025	10.8	8.3

Beds are counted where the home is, not where its residents come from, and people under 75 also live in care homes.
