Our view of the service
Date of Assessment: 18 November 2025.
Dartmouth Medical Practice is a GP practice that delivers services to approximately 8,274 people, under a contract held with NHS England. The service is based in Dartmouth.
The National General Practice Profiles states that 96.4% of the practice population are white and 3.6% are Asian, Black, mixed or other. Information published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows that deprivation within the practice population group is in the 8th decile (1 of 10). The lower the decile, the more deprived the practice population is relative to others. The service has a higher-than-average population of people aged 60 years and over. This assessment considered 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.
This assessment was carried out following changes to the service’s registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in May 2025, due to a change in address of the location, and the last assessment having been conducted in April 2016 at the previous address.
During this assessment, we assessed all quality statements across the safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led key questions.
People's experience of this service
People were positive about the quality of their care and treatment. Recent results from the National GP Patient Survey (GPPS) 2024 and the NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT), showed people were satisfied with services. The service scored higher than national averages for confidence and trust in the clinician they saw, being involved in decisions made about their care, contacting the service by telephone and their overall experience of the service.
There was an active patient participation group (PPG) who represented the views of people using the service. For example, conducting surveys in response to the national GPPS and making recommendations to the service for improvements. For example, access to minor injury services, parking at the site, continuity of care and appointment system communications to people using the service.
