Patients: clearly above the England average
Even with the margin of error, patients here describe the practice better than patients across England do, so the difference is very unlikely to be down to who happened to answer. How to read the margin of error.

Flu vaccination in East Riding of Yorkshire, winter 2025 to 2026
78.7% of patients aged 65 and over registered with GP practices in East Riding of Yorkshire had a flu vaccine between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026 (73,859 of 93,876). England: 74.5%.
| Who | East Riding of Yorkshire | England |
|---|---|---|
| Aged 65 and over73,859 of 93,876 | 78.7% | 74.5% |
| Under 65 in a clinical risk group24,350 of 52,916 | 46.0% | 40.6% |
| Pregnant women1,221 of 2,911 | 41.9% | 38.4% |

| Children aged 31,640 of 2,815 | 58.3% | 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.

Month by month
The appointment part of the Practice Grade, month by month over the past year: the share of appointments that took place within two weeks of booking. The scale runs from 0 to 100%. A month without a figure is left empty, and we never fill it in.

Time from booking to appointment
Routine appointments
Booked in advance for a problem that is not urgent.
No appointments of this kind with a recorded booking date this month.
Urgent (acute) appointments
Recorded by the practice as needing attention on the same day.
- Took place on the day it was booked
- 43.1%
- Within 7 days of booking
- 91.7%
- Appointments counted
- 408
These are the general consultations in August 2026, with any member of staff, by how many days passed between booking and the appointment. They are not how long a patient waited after first getting in touch: a routine appointment is often booked ahead on purpose, or on a date the patient chose. Planned clinics, triage calls, medication reviews and similar are left out, and so are appointments with no recorded booking date. The practice, not NHS England, decides whether an appointment is routine or acute.
NHS England publishes these figures as official statistics in development, and its own national figures use the same split: urgent appointments on the day of booking, and routine ones within 7 and 14 days. Practices record appointments in different ways, so we show no England figure beside these monthly figures. The grade uses a wider count, NHS England’s own measure of appointments within two weeks, shown with the grade above.

Trend 2024–2026
2024–2026: better on overall experience.
From the GP Patient Survey. Ipsos redesigned the survey in 2024 and started a new series, so earlier years are not shown and not compared. The trend follows question 32, the share of patients who describe the practice as good (the survey part of the Practice Grade); years without a result are left blank. England as a whole: 73.9% in 2024, 75.4% in 2025 and 76.7% in 2026. Small ups and downs that could just as well reflect who happened to respond count as unchanged, not as a change.

The survey is sent to a random sample of registered patients aged 16 and over. Some questions are answered by fewer people than others, which is why each question has its own number of answers.
Independent: no one can pay to change a result, a label or what is shown, and the site has no ties to GP practices, other care providers or public authorities. The grade uses open data only: the 2026 GP Patient Survey and NHS England’s appointment and phone data. Who runs the site.

Registered patients
How many patients were registered with the practice on 1 October each year, and how old they are.
- Since October 2019
- −402 (−9%) (4,639 then)
- Aged 0 to 14
- 16 in 100 (England 16, East Riding of Yorkshire 14)
- Aged 15 to 44
- 28 in 100 (England 41, East Riding of Yorkshire 31)

- Aged 80 or over
- 13 in 100 (England 5, East Riding of Yorkshire 8)
A patient counts where they are registered, wherever they live. Lists grow when practices merge or new homes are built nearby, and get smaller when NHS England removes people who have moved away or died but were still on the list: NHS England says the fall of 105,684 patients in England in October 2026 came from that work. East Riding of Yorkshire is the same count over every practice there. Source: NHS England, Patients Registered at a GP Practice, each October from 2019 to 2026.
Where patients live
Patients here live in areas less deprived than most of England (decile 8 of 10).
- Deprivation decile
- 8 of 10 (1 is the most deprived tenth of England’s neighbourhoods, 10 the least)
- Deprivation index
- 9.9 (England 21.8; a higher figure is more deprived)
This describes the neighbourhoods where the practice’s registered patients live, not any one patient, and it says nothing about the care the practice gives. It is context and is not part of the grade. The figure is the IMD 2025 index of each neighbourhood, averaged over the practice’s patients, so a practice with patients from many neighbourhoods lands nearer the middle. It cannot be compared with the 2019 figures. Source: Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, English Indices of Deprivation 2025, averaged for each practice by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (Fingertips).
Appointments
- Appointments in August 2026
- 1,614
- Booked for the same day
- 20.0%
- Face to face
- 96.5%
All appointments in the practice’s appointment book that month, with any member of staff, whether the patient attended or not. “Same day” means the appointment took place on the day it was booked; it is not a waiting time, and NHS England says it cannot measure demand on its own. “Face to face” is how the practice recorded the appointment; the rest were by phone, video, online or home visit. Both shares leave out appointments where this was not recorded.
NHS England publishes these figures as official statistics in development. Practices record appointments in different ways, and some activity, such as some appointments run by the primary care network, is not included, so NHS England says the figures do not give a complete view of a practice’s work.

GPs, nurses and other staff
- Full-time GPs per 1,000 patients
- 0.29 (England 0.63, East Riding of Yorkshire 0.63)
- Full-time nurses per 1,000 patients
- 0.47 (England 0.26, East Riding of Yorkshire 0.31)
- Other full-time clinical staff per 1,000 patients
- 0.15 (England 0.28, East Riding of Yorkshire 0.45)
- All GPs
- 1.2 full-time equivalent
- Qualified permanent GPs
- 1.2 full-time equivalent
- Registered patients per permanent GP
- 3,465
Full-time equivalent adds up the hours staff work, so two GPs working half the week count as one. The figures per 1,000 patients are our own calculation from the same NHS England file: the full-time equivalent divided by the registered patients, times 1,000. GPs include GPs in training and locums. Other clinical staff are those employed by the practice who see patients, such as pharmacists, healthcare assistants and physiotherapists; staff employed by the primary care network instead of the practice are not counted. East Riding of Yorkshire and England are the same calculation over every practice there. Qualified permanent GPs leave out GPs in training and locums. Patients per permanent GP is our own calculation, not an NHS England figure: registered patients divided by the full-time equivalent of qualified permanent GPs. It does not count work done by locums, GPs in training, nurses, pharmacists or other staff.

Friends and Family Test
NHS England’s figures for June 2026 have no results for this practice.
The test asks patients about their overall experience of the practice. NHS England says it is not meant for comparing practices: each practice chooses how to collect answers, anyone who uses the practice can answer (there is no random sample), and the results are not adjusted for differences between patients.

Diabetes, blood pressure, asthma and COPD
Not part of our grade
How many in 100 of the practice’s patients with each condition had the check or reached the level the guidelines aim for in 2025-26 (1 April to 31 March), from NHS England’s Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF). The figures describe how care is recorded and followed up, not how good the care is for any one patient, and they are not part of our grade.
Diabetes
- Blood sugar (HbA1c) at 58 mmol/mol or lower
- 72 in 100 (264 patients, England 61, East Riding of Yorkshire 65)
- Blood pressure at 140/90 or lower
- 70 in 100 (205 patients, England 79, East Riding of Yorkshire 79)
- Feet checked in the last 12 months
- 73 in 100 (323 patients, England 79, East Riding of Yorkshire 81)
High blood pressure
- Blood pressure at 140/90 or lower, aged 79 or under
- 66 in 100 (471 patients, England 72, East Riding of Yorkshire 72)
- Blood pressure at 150/90 or lower, aged 80 or over
- 77 in 100 (282 patients, England 84, East Riding of Yorkshire 84)
Asthma
- Asthma review with a written action plan in the last 12 months
- 63 in 100 (292 patients, England 68, East Riding of Yorkshire 68)
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
- COPD review in the last 12 months
- 74 in 100 (97 patients, England 77, East Riding of Yorkshire 77)
Patients are everyone on the practice’s register for the condition in the group the row names, including those the practice left out of its QOF target for personalised care reasons, such as someone who chose not to have the check. So a figure can be lower than the achievement the practice reports. With fewer than 10 patients in a group the row says the patients are too few instead. East Riding of Yorkshire and England are the same calculation over every practice there. None of the figures is adjusted for how old or how unwell a practice’s patients are.

Vaccinations and screening
Not part of our grade
How many of the practice’s patients in each group had childhood vaccinations or cervical screening, from NHS England’s Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) for 2025-26. These figures are not part of our grade. We show them as published and make no comparison between practices.
Childhood vaccinations
Babies at 8 months
Babies who had at least 3 doses of a vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough before they were 8 months old.
88.0% (22 of 25). England: 88.7%.
Children at 18 months
Children who had at least 1 dose of the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps and rubella) between 12 and 18 months old.
86.7% (26 of 30). England: 85.6%.
Children at 5 years
Children who had the pre-school booster (diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and polio) and at least 2 doses of MMR between the ages of 1 and 5.
93.0% (40 of 43). England: 83.4%.
Cervical screening
Women aged 25 to 49
Women eligible for cervical screening with an adequate test recorded in the last 3 years and 6 months.
79.0% (440 of 557). England: 66.3%.
Women aged 50 to 64
Women eligible for cervical screening with an adequate test recorded in the last 5 years and 6 months.
83.7% (302 of 361). England: 75.4%.
The period is 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026: the children who reached the age in that year, and the women aged 25 to 64 at its end. Each figure is the number of patients with the vaccine or test recorded, out of everyone eligible. Eligible includes patients the practice has left out of the QOF target for personalised care reasons, for example someone who chose not to have it after talking it through, or who did not reply to invitations, so the percentage can be lower than the QOF achievement figure the practice reports. England is the same calculation over every practice.
The numbers are what the practice has on record. A vaccine or test given elsewhere only counts once it reaches that record. Every eligible patient is counted, so there is no survey margin of error, but when only a few patients are eligible one patient more or less moves the percentage a lot.

Antibiotic prescribing
Not part of our grade
How much this practice prescribes antibiotics, and which ones, from NHS Business Services Authority prescribing data. Public health bodies aim to cut unnecessary antibiotic use because it helps bacteria become resistant to the drugs, but a figure cannot tell you whether any one prescription was needed. These figures are not part of our grade.
How much
- Antibiotic items per STAR-PU
- 0.87 (2,426 items, April 2025 to March 2026, England 0.74, East Riding of Yorkshire 0.84)
Which antibiotics
From September 2025 to August 2026.
- Broad-spectrum antibiotics
- 4 in 100 items (of 2,499 antibiotic items, England 8, East Riding of Yorkshire 5)
- Nitrofurantoin for urine infections
- 65 in 100 items (of 569 nitrofurantoin and trimethoprim items, England 70, East Riding of Yorkshire 68)
One item is one antibiotic on a prescription. STAR-PU weights the practice’s list by age and sex, so practices with older or younger patients can be set side by side; it does not allow for illness, so a practice whose patients have more infections or other conditions can prescribe more for good reasons. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are co-amoxiclav, cephalosporins and quinolones, which kill many kinds of bacteria and are kept for when others will not do. For most urine infections NICE’s first choice is nitrofurantoin or, when the risk of resistance is low, trimethoprim. NHS England has asked practices to favour nitrofurantoin, because the bacteria behind urine infections resist trimethoprim more often; the row shows how many of the two were nitrofurantoin. East Riding of Yorkshire and England are the same calculation over every practice there. Only items prescribed by the practice and dispensed in the community are counted.

What we cannot measure
- The quality of the treatment itself: open data shows how patients describe their practice and how soon appointments take place, not clinical outcomes.
- One doctor or nurse: the figures are for the whole practice.
- Whether the practice can take you: that depends on its boundary and its list, which the practice decides.
- This year’s changes: the survey ran in early 2026, and a new team or system since then is not in the figures.
Questions to ask the practice (3)
This does not show in the figures, but you can ask the practice yourself before you register.
- Does my address fall inside your boundary, and are you taking new patients?
- How do I book an appointment, and how soon can I usually see someone?
- Can I ask to see the same GP or nurse each time?

Common questions
How good is Dr Ac Milner?
Dr Ac Milner has a Practice Grade of 90.6 out of 100, 13.4 above the England average (77.2), from 107 answers in the 2026 GP Patient Survey and NHS appointment data. Even with the margin of error, patients here describe the practice better than patients across England do, so the difference is very unlikely to be down to who happened to answer.
How soon can I get an appointment at Dr Ac Milner?
In August 2026, 96% of appointments at Dr Ac Milner took place within two weeks of booking. Time from booking is not the whole wait, and practices record appointments in different ways.
How do I register with Dr Ac Milner?
Check that your address is inside the practice’s boundary, then register online, in the NHS App or on a paper form at the practice. You do not need to tell your current practice.
