Our view of the service

We conducted this assessment as a new registered location due to the provider moving premises. Date of Assessment: 25 June 2025 to 26 June 2025. BHF Highgate Surgery is a GP practice which delivers service to 3153 patients under a contract held with NHS England. The National General Practice Profiles states that 97.85% of the practice patient list is White, 0.55% Asian and 1.27% Black, Mixed ethnicity and Other. Information published by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows that deprivation within the practice population group is in the 3rd decile (3 of 10). The lower the decile, the more 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.
