Best-rated GP practices in England 2026

The 50 highest Practice scores

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%).

Practices with exactly the same Practice score share a place, listed A to Z.

Also on place 49 with 96.6: 4 more practices.

The 2026 awards

Top 10% in England 2026 goes to 581 practices: a Practice score of 90.9 or more, which puts them in the highest 10% of England’s rated practices, and clearly above the England average.

Top-rated in an area goes to the practice with the highest Practice score in its local authority area, 297 practices this year. Your area’s page names it.

Every award is free and shown on the practice’s own page. No practice can buy one. How the awards work.

How to read this list

• The scores here are close together, and the intervals of neighbouring practices nearly always overlap. Two practices a few places apart may not differ in any way the figures can show.
• Only practices labelled “clearly above the England average” are placed: the whole of their interval lies above England. The order is the Practice score as shown. Practices with exactly the same score share a place, and the name never decides one.
• A practice that is not here is not a poor practice. 1,602 more are clearly above the England average, and 3,489 cannot be told apart from it. Your own area’s list is the better guide to where you can register.
• Practices that register only one group of people, such as students, people who are homeless or the residents of one home, are not placed, and nor are services you cannot choose to register with. 14 of them are clearly above the England average; each has its own page. Why.
• Why 50: every practice on the list is far above the England average. Further down, many practices share each score or are a tenth of a point apart, so a longer list would add places that say very little.
• There is no list of the lowest-rated practices, and there will not be one.
