During an assessment under our new approach
Date of Assessment: 22 to 30 April 2025. Musters GP Practice delivers services to 6,745 people under a contract held with NHS England. The ethnic make-up of the practice area is 80.75% white, 3.68% mixed, 11.73% Asian, 1.99% Black and other 1.84%. The age distribution of the practice population shows they have a lower proportion of older people and higher proportion of working age and young people, in comparison to local and national averages. Information published by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows that deprivation within the practice population group is in the 10th decile (2 of 10). The higher the decile, the least deprived the practice population is relative to others. 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.
