About these figures
Source: NHS England – patients registered September 2026; workforce August 2026. Qualified GPs are partners, salaried GPs and regular locums; doctors in training are counted separately. “Full-time” means 37.5 hours a week, so two half-time GPs count as one. “England’s typical practice” is the middle value across every practice in the same NHS files, worked out by Docorix. These figures describe the size of the practice – they are not a measure of quality or of how easy it is to get an appointment.
