These are the latest results from 2026’s annual GP Patient Survey, where ordinary people have their say about their local doctor’s practice.
Based on 650,000 responses sent out to patients and conducted by marketing firm Ipsos, the annual GP Patient Survey is published each June on behalf of NHS England.
It asks patients about their local GP, the last contact they had with the practice, the quality of care at the last appointment and their overall view of their local surgery.
But data shows only around a fifth of the three million surveys sent out to patients had valid responses this year, with 654,000 replies being used in the analysis.
Nevertheless, out of Sheffield’s list of 166 GPs, these are the surgeries where patients felt the best looked after.
At 11 of the Sheffield practices listed below, over 90 per cent of patients described their experience as good overall, and the top rated received a consensus of 93 per cent.
Several of these surgeries have not been visited by the healthcare watchdog, the CQC, in nearly a decade due to the body’s “risk based” approach to reinspections - if they don’t see a reason to visit, then they don’t.
