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.

Flu vaccination in Cambridgeshire, winter 2025 to 2026

79.7% of patients aged 65 and over registered with GP practices in Cambridgeshire had a flu vaccine between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026 (113,410 of 142,321). England: 74.5%.

UKHSA publishes flu vaccine uptake for counties and unitary authorities, not for districts. These figures are for Cambridgeshire, the county that Huntingdonshire is in.

Children aged 34,174 of 7,11758.6%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.

Talking therapies for the NHS area covering Huntingdonshire, August 2026

About 805 people finished a course of NHS Talking Therapies in the NHS area that covers Huntingdonshire in August 2026. Of them, 87% started treatment within 6 weeks of referral and 99% within 18 weeks. The national standards are 75% and 95%.

Huntingdonshire is covered by NHS Central East ICB (sub-ICB 06H).

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 Huntingdonshire 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.

Hospital care and dementia

MeasureHuntingdonshireEngland
Emergency hospital admissions for falls, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 2,232 to 2,5422,3831,958
Hip fractures, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 512 to 666585536
Estimated dementia diagnosis rate, people aged 65 and over2026, as at 31 March, likely range 53.3 to 65.960.1%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
