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.

79.0% of patients aged 65 and over registered with GP practices in North Tyneside had a flu vaccine between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026 (37,913 of 47,962). England: 74.5%.

Who	North Tyneside	England
Aged 65 and over37,913 of 47,962	79.0%	74.5%
Under 65 in a clinical risk group17,097 of 36,679	46.6%	40.6%
Pregnant women1,143 of 2,180	52.4%	38.4%
Children aged 21,085 of 1,950	55.6%	43.5%
Children aged 31,317 of 2,123	62.0%	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.

Hospital care and dementia

Measure	North Tyneside	England
Emergency hospital admissions for falls, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 2,817 to 3,142	2,976	1,958
Hip fractures, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, likely range 591 to 746	665	536
Estimated dementia diagnosis rate, people aged 65 and over2026, as at 31 March, likely range 64.8 to 79.4	72.7%	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 home beds per 100 people aged 75 and over2025	7.7	8.3
