The 157 Medical Practice

Source: GP Patient Survey 2026, run by Ipsos for NHS England. 116 patients of the 681 invited (17%) replied at this practice. Replies were collected from 2 January to 13 April 2026 and the results were published on 9 July 2026. Percentages are weighted by the survey so they reflect the practice’s patients. For some questions the survey leaves out people who answered “I don’t know”, “I haven’t tried” or said it did not apply. “England” is the national result in the same survey (654,714 replies).

These are estimates from a sample, not a count of every patient. The “likely range” is the survey’s own 95% confidence interval: the fewer the replies, the wider it is. Docorix says “above England” or “below England” only when the whole range sits above or below the England result – otherwise the difference could be down to chance. The survey does not publish a result based on fewer than 10 replies.
