About GPFinder
What is GPFinder?
GPFinder helps you find and compare GP practices in England using official NHS data. We aggregate data from five publicly available NHS sources to give you a comprehensive view of each practice's quality, patient satisfaction, and capacity.
Data Sources
All data is sourced from official NHS and regulatory bodies under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
| Source | Data Provided | Update Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| NHS Organisation Data Service (ODS) | Practice names, addresses, postcodes, contact details | Monthly |
| Care Quality Commission (CQC) | Overall and sub-category ratings, inspection dates | After each inspection |
| GP Patient Survey (GPPS) | Patient experience percentages across multiple dimensions | Annually (July) |
| NHS Digital — Patients Registered | Number of registered patients per practice | Quarterly |
| NHS Digital — GP Workforce | GP and nurse FTE counts per practice | Monthly |
Methodology
GPFinder does not create its own ratings or scores. We present the original data from each source as-is, allowing you to make your own informed comparisons. CQC ratings are the official assessment from the Care Quality Commission. Patient survey percentages come directly from the annual GP Patient Survey. Practice size data comes from NHS Digital workforce statistics.
Data Attribution
