Not rated
Fewer than 30 patients answered the overall question in the 2026 GP Patient Survey, so we do not rate this practice. Figures based on so few answers would have a very wide margin of error.
Month by month
The appointment part of the Practice score, 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.
| Month | Share |
|---|---|
| September 2025 | 88.2% |
| October 2025 | 82.6% |
| November 2025 | 83.3% |
| December 2025 | 92.1% |
| January 2026 | 89.1% |
| February 2026 | 84.7% |
| March 2026 | 68.8% |
| April 2026 | 97.2% |
| May 2026 | 94.4% |
| June 2026 | 93.6% |
| July 2026 | 95.7% |
| August 2026 | 97.5% |
97.5% in August 2026 (158 appointments). The same month, England as a whole had 87.7%.

Trend 2024–2026
Too little survey history to say whether anything has changed.
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 score); 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.

- Response rate
- 7.2%
Fewer than 10 in 100 questionnaires were returned. The survey weights the answers, but the result may still describe the patients who replied better than those who did not.
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.

CQC rating: Good (report published 15 December 2021). Read the CQC report
The CQC inspects practices against its own standards. The CQC rating is a separate fact and is not part of our grade, which comes from the GP Patient Survey and NHS appointment and phone data.
Appointments, GPs and patient feedback
These figures come from NHS England. They are not part of our grade, and we do not compare them with other practices. Each one has its own source and month. The two access figures that are in the grade, appointments within two weeks and calls answered, are shown with the grade.
Appointments
- Appointments in August 2026
- 182
- Booked for the same day
- 8.8%
- Face to face
- 22.0%
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.

Time from booking to appointment
Routine appointments
Booked in advance for a problem that is not urgent.
- Within 7 days of booking
- 88.6%
- Within 14 days of booking
- 97.5%
- More than 28 days after booking
- 0.6%
- Appointments counted
- 158
Urgent (acute) appointments
Recorded by the practice as needing attention on the same day.
No appointments of this kind with a recorded booking date this month.
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.

GPs
NHS England’s workforce figures for August 2026 have no valid GP records for this practice.

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.

Vaccinations and screening
Not part of our rating
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 rating. 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.
No eligible patients in this group in NHS England’s figures. 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.
No eligible patients in this group in NHS England’s figures. 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.
No eligible patients in this group in NHS England’s figures. 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.
25.9% (7 of 27), 95% interval 13.2% to 44.7%. 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.
50.0% (7 of 14), 95% interval 26.8% to 73.2%. 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. The 95% interval shows how far the percentage could move by chance when only a few patients are eligible; it is not a margin of error from a survey, because every eligible patient is counted.

About these figures
The Practice score weighs two parts. 70% is patient experience: the share of patients who describe their practice as good, the answers “very good” and “fairly good” to the GP Patient Survey’s question on overall experience, exactly as Ipsos publishes it. 30% is access, the mean of two shares from NHS England’s monthly data for the practice’s latest month (August 2026): appointments that took place within two weeks of booking, and calls answered by the practice on weekdays from 8am to 6.30pm. Each part has its own 95% interval, and so does the grade. The label compares patients’ answers alone with England’s, so access moves the grade but never the label.
A practice is graded when at least 30 people answered the survey question. With only one of the two access figures, access is compared on that one; with neither, the grade is the survey part alone. The other survey questions are shown under “More answers from the survey”, each with its own interval and number of answers, and are not part of the grade. Appointment and phone data come from practices’ own systems, and practices record appointments in different ways. Time from booking is not the whole wait, and a call ended in the phone menu counts as not answered.
