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.
Other NHS services listed as GP practices
NHS England’s register lists these services as GP practices, but you cannot choose to register with them, so they are not in the lists or on the map above.
