Frequently asked questions

How is this “Best GP practices” list calculated?
We rank GP practices using the latest available GP Patient Survey (GPPS) value for “Overall experience (positive)”. Higher positive response percentages rank higher. We then show up to 12 practices for this district.
Why are some GP practices not included?
A practice needs a matched GPPS record and a valid value for the selected survey metric to appear in this ranking. Practices can still appear in the main directory even if they are not ranked here.
Is this an official NHS endorsement?
No. This is an independent view built from published survey data to help patients compare local practices more easily.
