SEL Special Allocation Practice
A special allocation scheme for south east London: the NHS places patients here after they have been removed from a practice’s list because of a violent or threatening incident. It is not a GP practice you can choose to register with. How we know
SEL Special Allocation Practice has no Practice Grade: fewer than 30 patients answered the overall question in the 2026 GP Patient Survey, too few for a figure we can show.
Updated with the 2026 GP Patient Survey · Appointments: August 2026
Flu vaccination in Lewisham, winter 2025 to 2026
53.6% of patients aged 65 and over registered with GP practices in Lewisham had a flu vaccine between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026 (20,046 of 37,382). England: 74.5%.
| Who | Lewisham | England |
|---|---|---|
| Aged 65 and over20,046 of 37,382 | 53.6% | 74.5% |
| Under 65 in a clinical risk group16,463 of 52,884 | 31.1% | 40.6% |
| Pregnant women1,785 of 4,262 | 41.9% | 38.4% |
| Children aged 21,496 of 3,483 | 43.0% | 43.5% |
| Children aged 31,459 of 3,531 | 41.3% | 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.
This card shows flu only. We have not found local authority figures for last winter’s COVID-19 vaccination from UKHSA.

What patients say

Time from booking to appointment
NHS England’s figures for August 2026 have no general consultations with a recorded booking date for this practice.
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.

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.
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.

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
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 show no answers 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 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.
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.
35.5% (11 of 31), likely range 21.1% to 53.1%. 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.
27.3% (3 of 11), likely range 9.7% to 56.6%. 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 likely range 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.

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?
