All GP practices in Isles of Scilly, A to Z
In alphabetical order. The list is not a ranking. Each Practice score is shown with its 95% interval; a label appears only when the margin of error supports it.
| Practice | Practice score | Survey answers | Response rate | Access | Trend 2024–2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
St Mary's Health CentreClearly above the England average | 81.8 | 114 | 27.8% | 65.5% |
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.

Hospital care and dementia
| Measure | Isles of Scilly | England |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency hospital admissions for falls, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised | – | 1,958 |
| Hip fractures, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised | – | 536 |
| Estimated dementia diagnosis rate, people aged 65 and over2026, as at 31 March, 95% interval 30.4 to 76.5 | 53.7% | 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 | Isles of Scilly | England |
|---|---|---|
| Care home beds per 100 people aged 75 and over2025 | 4.0 | 8.3 |
Beds are counted where the home is, not where its residents come from, and people under 75 also live in care homes.
