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.

The practices without a place follow the ranked ones, A to Z, with their figures: those with too few survey answers, those that serve one group of patients, and those the grade cannot place clearly.

Flu vaccination in Richmond upon Thames, winter 2025 to 2026

73.2% of patients aged 65 and over registered with GP practices in Richmond upon Thames had a flu vaccine between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026 (23,992 of 32,767). England: 74.5%.

Who	Richmond upon Thames	England
Aged 65 and over23,992 of 32,767	73.2%	74.5%
Under 65 in a clinical risk group9,727 of 22,139	43.9%	40.6%
Pregnant women661 of 1,490	44.4%	38.4%
Children aged 2841 of 1,517	55.4%	43.5%
Children aged 3939 of 1,761	53.3%	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.
