Number of GP practices in England 2016-2024
As of December 2024, there were 6,277 general practices in operation in England, the lowest number of practices in the provided time interval. With decreasing number of GP practices, the number of patients per practice in England is also increasing, furthering the strain and pressure in general practice.
Note: Instead of the total number of GP surgeries in the UK, the NHS now publishes data for each country separately. See the number of GP practice in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
