The annual GP Patient Survey survey - published every July - allows patients to choose an NHS GP practice based on the opinions, experiences and overall ratings of other local residents.
The 2025 survey was conducted among patients aged 16 or over registered with a GP practice in England. 2.72 million people were invited to take part between December 30 2024 and April 1 2025.
