England 80.0 · 95% interval 77.5 to 80.7

The area’s Practice score is the average over its 31 rated practices. On average they are 0.5 points below the England average (95% interval: from 2.5 points below to 0.7 points above). The Practice score weighs two NHS measures: the share of patients who describe their practice as good (70%) and the share of appointments that take place within two weeks of booking (30%).

The line under each score is its 95% interval. The Practice score weighs two NHS measures: the share of patients who describe their practice as good (70%) and the share of appointments that take place within two weeks of booking (30%).

Only practices with a label are placed. Practices without one are in the full list below, with their figures. Practices that register only one group of people, such as students or people who are homeless, are not placed either.

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.
