GP practices across the country are an important first point of contact when you start to feel unwell.
Able to provide initial diagnoses, treatments, and referrals to specialist care services, their role is incredibly varied but vital to the UK healthcare system.
The latest GP Patient Survey, carried out by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England, asked patients across Leeds to rate their experience of their local surgery.
More than 650,000 patients across England took part in the 2026 survey, which was carried out between January and April.
Nationally, 46% of patients described their overall experience of their GP practice as ‘very good’, while a further 31% said it was ‘fairly good’.
