Charnwood as a whole

77.8/ 100

England 77.2 · likely range 75.3 to 79.0

The area’s Practice Grade is the average over its 23 graded practices. On average they are 0.6 points above the England average (likely range: from 1.9 points below to 1.8 points above). The Practice Grade weighs patient experience, the share of patients who describe their practice as good (70%), and access (30%): the share of appointments within two weeks of booking and the share of calls the practice answers, from NHS England’s latest monthly data.

Cannot be told apart from the England average

This compares patients’ answers in the area as a whole with England’s, every graded practice counting equally, as each practice’s label compares its patients’ answers. Access moves the figure above, not this. It says nothing about any single practice: see each practice’s own page.

The line under each grade is its likely range. The Practice Grade weighs patient experience, the share of patients who describe their practice as good (70%), and access (30%): the share of appointments within two weeks of booking and the share of calls the practice answers, from NHS England’s latest monthly data. The label compares patients’ answers with England’s; access moves the grade, never the label.

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.

Hospital care and dementia

MeasureCharnwoodEngland
Emergency hospital admissions for falls, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 1,588 to 1,8571,7181,958
Hip fractures, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 443 to 591513536
Estimated dementia diagnosis rate, people aged 65 and over2026, as at 31 March, likely range 57.2 to 70.564.3%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

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

Talking therapies for the NHS area covering Charnwood, August 2026

NHS Talking Therapies for Charnwood are commissioned by more than one NHS area. Of the people who finished a course in August 2026, the share who started treatment within 6 weeks and within 18 weeks of referral is given for each below. The national standards are 75% and 95%.

Charnwood is covered by more than one NHS area, both in NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB. NHS England publishes each separately and we do not combine them.

NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB, sub-ICB 04V, which covers about 90% of the area: 100% started within 6 weeks and 100% within 18 weeks (about 285 people finished a course in August 2026).

England: 83.4% started within 6 weeks and 97.5% within 18 weeks (51,269 people finished a course in August 2026).

These figures are for the NHS area that commissions the service, not for Charnwood and not for any GP practice. Most people refer themselves, so they say nothing about the quality of a practice.

Only people who finished a course in the month are counted, so people still waiting are not. Counts are rounded to the nearest 5, rates to the nearest whole per cent, and NHS England hides numbers under 5. One month can move by several points.

Flu vaccination in Leicestershire and Rutland, winter 2025 to 2026

78.5% of patients aged 65 and over registered with GP practices in Leicestershire and Rutland had a flu vaccine between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026 (138,058 of 175,933). England: 74.5%.

UKHSA combines Leicestershire and Rutland to protect patients’ privacy, so the figures cover them together.

Children aged 33,939 of 7,66751.4%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.
