GP practices in England

An open overview of GP practices across England, built on public data. We put patients’ answers together with appointment and phone data into a comparison anyone can check and work out again. No practice can pay for its place.

What we do, and what we do not

In short: we only use open figures, always show how many patients answered, and give no grade when too few did.

The Practice Grade is built from the 2026 GP Patient Survey (70%: the share of patients who describe their practice as good) and NHS England’s monthly data on appointments and phone calls (30%). All of it is open. We use a public method, and every figure comes with its margin of error and the number of answers behind it. Read how the grade is worked out.

We do not measure everything. The figures say something about how patients find their practice and how easy it is to get an appointment or through on the phone, not about the medical quality of each visit. NHS England’s appointment and phone data are official statistics in development.

The coverage in figures

  • 6,163GP practices listed
  • 6,090with a Practice Grade
  • 296local authority areas
  • 7NHS England regions
  • 647,322patients answered the overall question

The figures come from the 2026 GP Patient Survey and NHS England’s data. 24 practices are shown without a Practice Grade because too few patients answered, see “Too few answers” below. A further 49 have no result in the survey and so no grade. That says nothing about the care.

The England figures

Each practice is compared with England. These are the England figures every Practice Grade is measured against, each with its source and period.

Patients who describe their practice as good (2026 GP Patient Survey, question 32)
76.7%
Appointments within two weeks of booking (August 2026, Appointments in General Practice)
87.7%
Calls answered or called back (August 2026, Cloud Based Telephony Data in General Practice)
68.6%
England’s Practice Grade
77.2

What “too few answers” means

If fewer than 30 patients at a practice answered the survey’s overall question, we give no Practice Grade at all. The practice is then shown without one. That says nothing about the quality of the care, only that there are too few answers to say anything about the practice. On every practice page we show the number of answers and the margin of error, so you can see for yourself how sure each figure is.
