This practice recorded fewer than 100 routine appointments in July 2026, so its percentages are unreliable and it is not ranked.

In July 2026 the practice recorded 29 routine appointments, of which 31% took place within 7 days of being booked, 27 points below the England figure. Of 608 appointments the practice classed as clinically urgent, 8.9% were dealt with on the day they were booked (England 77%).

These figures show recorded appointments and the gap between booking and attending. They do not show how hard it was to get through to the practice, and the gap includes appointments patients chose to book weeks ahead. Practices classify appointments themselves, so the urgent and routine counts are not perfectly consistent between practices. Read the full caveats. Spotted a problem? Tell us.
