The Practice score weighs two NHS measures: the share of patients who describe their practice as good (70%) and the share of appointments that take place within two weeks of booking (30%).

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 score, not the score itself. Practices with fewer than 3 yearly results are shown without a curve.
