During an assessment under our new approach
Date of Assessment: 18 June 2026. Stroud Green Medical Clinic is a GP practice and delivers services to approximately 10,700 people under a contract held with NHS England. According to the latest available data, the ethnic make-up of the practice area is approximately 64.58% White, 8.10% Asian, 7.38% Mixed, 13.07% Black and 6.87% Other. Information published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows deprivation within the practice population group is in the 4th decile (4 of 10). The lower the decile, the more deprived the practice population is relative to others.
We carried out this assessment using our new methodology as part of our Return to Good and Outstanding inspection programme, due to the length of time since our last assessment. We assessed 10 of 34 quality statements from across all 5 key questions. This assessment considered the demographics of the people using the practice, the context the practice was working within and how this impacted service delivery. Where relevant, further commentary is provided in the quality statements section of this report.
Facilities were kept clean and equipment were maintained appropriately to ensure people were kept safe. The practice assessed and managed the risk of infection well and took steps to control the risk of it spreading. There were enough staff with the right skills, qualifications and experience.
People were supported to live healthier lives, monitoring their care and treatment to ensure they received positive and consistent outcomes. Staff treated people with kindness, empathy and compassion, and respected their privacy and dignity. People could access care, treatment and support when they needed it. Leaders and staff were alert to discrimination and inequality that could disadvantage groups of people who used the practice and sought ways to address any barriers.
The practice had a clear vision and strategy, which considered the needs of the people who used their practice and the wider community. Staff understood their individual roles and responsibilities. Leaders accounted for the actions, behaviours and performance of staff through clear and effective governance processes.
