The GP Patient Survey is published every year and helps patients to choose an NHS practice based on the opinions, experiences and overall ratings of other local residents.
The latest results were published on July 10 this year, revealing the best and worst GP surgeries around England.
The survey is conducted among patients aged 16 or over registered with a GP practice in England. For the 2025 survey, 2.72 million people were invited to take part between December 30 2024 and April 1 2025.
