Adelaide Surgery is a GP practice that delivers services to approximately 15,243 patients under a contract held with NHS England. The practice has a main site at Elizabeth Street, Blackpool, and 2 branch surgeries at Gorton Street and Kentmere Drive, also in Blackpool. The National General Practice Profiles states that 93% of patients are White, 4% Asian, and 3% Black, Mixed or Other. Information published by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows that deprivation within the practice population group is in the 1st decile (1 of 10). The lower the decile, the more deprived the practice population is relative to others. This assessment considers the demographics of the people using the service, the context the service was working within and how this impacted service delivery. Where relevant, further commentary is provided in the quality statements section of this report.
