Good and Outstanding GP practices

Our specialist teams inspect the quality of care provided by England's GP practices and give them a rating under our new inspection approach.

We published inspection reports on 72 GP practices today. Of these, 90% have been rated as Good (65 practices).

Professor Steve Field, Chief Inspector of General Practice said: “We know that the vast majority of England's GPs are providing a service which is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led. If that is what we find on inspection - we give it a rating of Good, and I congratulate the GPs and staff in these practices."

Three practices were rated Outstanding, you can read more about each one:

• Dr M. R. Spencer and Partners, North Derbyshire
• Wigton Group Medical Practice, Cumbria
• Chiddingfold Surgery, Guildford and Waverley

Four practices were rated as Requires improvement.
