Fact box: GP practices in Gosport

For journalists. You can use the box below as it stands, in print or online, as long as the source line goes with it. Every figure in it comes from the same data as the area page.

GP practices in Gosport: patient survey and appointments

Gosport has 5 open GP practices, and all of them had enough answers in the 2026 GP Patient Survey to be rated.

The 5 rated practices had 592 answers between them to the survey’s question on overall experience.

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%). For Gosport as a whole, with every rated practice counting equally, it is 70.3, against 80.0 for England (95% interval 65.2 to 74.0). That is below the England average. On average, practices there are 9.7 points below the England average (95% interval: 6.0 to 14.8 points below).

Of the 5 rated practices, none is clearly above the England average, which needs the whole of a practice’s margin of error to lie above it.

The rating measures patients’ experience and how soon appointments take place, not the quality of clinical care. NHS England publishes the appointment data as official statistics in development.

What the box leaves out, on purpose

It names no practice. Each practice’s own figures are on its page and on the area page.
It has no list or count of the practices whose results are below the England average.
It does not place Gosport among other areas: there is no ranking of areas.
