Thurrock as a whole
England 77.2 · 95% interval 75.5 to 77.8
The area’s Practice score is the average over its 26 rated practices. On average they are 0.4 points below the England average (95% interval: from 1.7 points below to 0.6 points above). The Practice score weighs patient experience, the share of patients who describe their practice as good (70%), and access (30%): the share of appointments within two weeks of booking and the share of calls the practice answers, from NHS England’s latest monthly data.
Below the England average
This compares patients’ answers in the area as a whole with England’s, every rated practice counting equally, as each practice’s label compares its patients’ answers. Access moves the figure above, not this. It says nothing about any single practice: see each practice’s own page.

The line under each grade is its 95% interval. The Practice score weighs patient experience, the share of patients who describe their practice as good (70%), and access (30%): the share of appointments within two weeks of booking and the share of calls the practice answers, from NHS England’s latest monthly data. The label compares patients’ answers with England’s; access moves the grade, never the label.

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 | Thurrock | England |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency hospital admissions for falls, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, 95% interval 2,762 to 3,205 | 2,978 | 1,958 |
| Hip fractures, per 100,000 people aged 65 and over2024/25, age-standardised, 95% interval 500 to 702 | 595 | 536 |
| Estimated dementia diagnosis rate, people aged 65 and over2026, as at 31 March, 95% interval 56.7 to 71.1 | 64.4% | 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 | Thurrock | England |
|---|---|---|
| Care home beds per 100 people aged 75 and over2025 | 6.2 | 8.3 |
Beds are counted where the home is, not where its residents come from, and people under 75 also live in care homes.

Talking therapies for the NHS area covering Thurrock, August 2026
Of the people who finished a course of NHS Talking Therapies in the NHS area that covers Thurrock in August 2026, 98% started treatment within 6 weeks of referral and 100% within 18 weeks. The national standards are 75% and 95%.
Thurrock is covered by NHS Essex ICB (sub-ICB 07G).
| NHS area | Started within 6 weeks | Started within 18 weeks |
|---|---|---|
| NHS Essex ICB, sub-ICB 07GAbout 80 people finished a course in August 2026 | 98% | 100% |
| England51,269 people finished a course in August 2026 | 83.4% | 97.5% |
| National standardSet by NHS England for people who finish a course | 75% | 95% |
These figures are for the NHS area that commissions the service, not for Thurrock and not for any GP practice. Most people refer themselves, so they say nothing about the quality of a practice.
Only people who finished a course in the month are counted, so people still waiting are not. Counts are rounded to the nearest 5, rates to the nearest whole per cent, and NHS England hides numbers under 5. One month can move by several points.

Flu vaccination in Thurrock, winter 2025 to 2026
66.9% of patients aged 65 and over registered with GP practices in Thurrock had a flu vaccine between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026 (17,741 of 26,502). England: 74.5%.
| Who | Thurrock | England |
|---|---|---|
| Aged 65 and over17,741 of 26,502 | 66.9% | 74.5% |
| Under 65 in a clinical risk group9,363 of 29,876 | 31.3% | 40.6% |
| Pregnant women511 of 2,107 | 24.3% | 38.4% |
| Children aged 2628 of 2,158 | 29.1% | 43.5% |
| Children aged 3740 of 2,420 | 30.6% | 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.
This card shows flu only. We have not found local authority figures for last winter’s COVID-19 vaccination from UKHSA.
