The service supported people to manage their health and wellbeing to maximise their independence, choice and control. The service supported people to live healthier lives and where possible, reduce their future needs for care and support.

Staff focussed on identifying risks to people’s health, including those in the last 12 months of their lives and those with caring responsibilities. Staff supported national priorities and initiatives to improve population health, including stopping smoking and tackling obesity.

The service routinely monitored people’s care and treatment to continuously improve it. They ensured outcomes were positive, consistent and met the expectations of people themselves.

Childhood immunisations were carried out in line with the national childhood vaccination programme. According to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) published data, the practice childhood immunisation uptake rates were below the World Health Organisation (WHO) target of 95% for all immunisation indicators measured in 2024/25, which were recorded at 77%, 95%, 92% and 95% respectively. However, following the assessment the provider sent us childhood immunisation cover data (2025/26) which showed the practice had achieved over 90% for all the immunisation indicators which meant they had met the 90% minimum target overall.

According to the NHS England published data (30 June 2024), the practice population uptake rates for cervical cancer screening programme were below the 80% NHS target. They achieved 61% cervical cancer screening rates for women aged 25-49 years and 71% screening rates for women aged 50-64 years old. However, following the assessment the provider sent us NHS England data (2025/26) from the computer system which showed an improved performance (Uptake rates for women aged 25-49 years was 70% and 85% for women aged 50-64 years).

The service had drawn up an improvement report, and an action plan was in place to improve cancer screening and childhood immunisation uptake. The service was also working with other practices in the primary care network (PCN) to educate patients. For example, they had participated in a patient education and engagement event at the local community centre in December 2025 to convey the importance of cancer screening. These measures amongst others had led to the improvements in the data.
