The Gainsborough practice is located in a purpose built medical centre which is shared with the branch surgery of another practice in Bracknell, Berkshire. The practice belongs to East Berkshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). Approximately 9,980 patients are registered with the practice. The practice does not have a large number of patients in the older and younger age groups compared to the rest of the CCG and nationally. The practice does have a larger number of working age patients than the national average. National statistics show there is low deprivation and is predominantly a white British population, with 9% of patients deriving from black and other ethnic minority groups.
Two GP partners (both male, whole time equivalent (WTE) 2) operate the practice. There are five salaried GPs (4 female, 1 male, WTE 3). The practice is accredited to provide training for GPs, although there were no GP trainees in post at the time of the inspection.
The nursing team consists of a nurse practitioner (female, WTE 1) and two practice nurses (both female, WTE 1.65). There is a practice manager and a team of reception, administration and secretarial staff. Services are provided via a General Medical Services (GMS) contract.
The practice provides the following regulated activities: Diagnostic and screening procedures, Family planning, Maternity and midwifery services, Surgical procedures and Treatment of disease, disorder or injury.
All regulated activities are offered from:

The practice is part of a federation of Bracknell and Ascot GPs who provide extended hours appointments to all patients in the Bracknell and Ascot area from a dedicated surgery. GPs and nurses from across the area work for the federation to offer a variety of appointments on weekday evenings and Saturday and Sunday mornings.
The Gainsborough practice also became part of the Bracknell and District Primary Care Network in July 2019.
The practice has opted out of providing out of hours services to their patients. There are arrangements in place for services to be provided when the surgery is closed and these are displayed at the practice, in the practice information leaflet and on the website.
