Epsom and Ewell as a whole
England 77.2 · likely range 74.6 to 80.3
The area’s Practice Grade is the average over its 6 graded practices. On average they are 0.8 points above the England average (likely range: from 2.6 points below to 3.1 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.
Only practices with a label are placed. Practices without one are in the full list below, with their figures.

Hospital care and dementia
| Measure | Epsom and Ewell | England |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency hospital admissions for falls, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 1,473 to 1,880 | 1,667 | 1,958 |
| Hip fractures, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 440 to 675 | 548 | 536 |
| Estimated dementia diagnosis rate, people aged 65 and over2026, as at 31 March, likely range 53.4 to 67.8 | 60.9% | 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 | Epsom and Ewell | England |
|---|---|---|
| Care home beds per 100 people aged 75 and over2025 | 6.6 | 8.3 |
Beds are counted where the home is, not where its residents come from, and people under 75 also live in care homes.

| Measure | Epsom and Ewell | England |
|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at 65, men2022 to 2024, likely range 19.6 to 20.7 | 20.1 years | 18.9 years |

About 1,770 people finished a course of NHS Talking Therapies in the NHS area that covers Epsom and Ewell in August 2026. Of them, 99% started treatment within 6 weeks of referral and 100% within 18 weeks. The national standards are 75% and 95%.

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 Epsom and Ewell 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 Surrey, winter 2025 to 2026
76.9% of patients aged 65 and over registered with GP practices in Surrey had a flu vaccine between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026 (194,161 of 252,341). England: 74.5%.
UKHSA publishes flu vaccine uptake for counties and unitary authorities, not for districts. These figures are for Surrey, the county that Epsom and Ewell is in.
| Who | Surrey | England |
|---|---|---|
| Aged 65 and over194,161 of 252,341 | 76.9% | 74.5% |
| Under 65 in a clinical risk group76,794 of 172,270 | 44.6% | 40.6% |
| Pregnant women5,216 of 12,366 | 42.2% | 38.4% |
| Children aged 26,668 of 12,083 | 55.2% | 43.5% |
| Children aged 36,981 of 12,620 | 55.3% | 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.
