During an assessment under our new approach
Date of Assessment: 25 June and 26 June 2026. Somerford Grove Practice is a GP practice and delivers service to 11044 patients under a contract held with NHS England. The National General Practice Profile states that 51.3% of patients identify as White, 21.6% as Black, 10.9% as Asian, 8.7% as Other ethnic groups and 7.4% as Mixed ethnicity. The age profile showed the largest proportion of patients were adults aged between 25 and 49 years, with comparatively smaller numbers of older people aged over 75 years and children aged under 10 years. This demographic profile indicated that the service supported a relatively young and ethnically diverse urban population, which may have influenced the health needs of the community and the way services were planned and delivered.
Information published by the 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.
We undertook this assessment due to the time elapsed since the previous inspection. This was a comprehensive assessment. We assessed 33 quality statements, across five key questions.
