Our view of the service
Date of Assessment: 5 August 2026
The Leven and Beeford Medical Practice is a GP practice in Leven, Beverley. The provider delivers services to approximately 11,500 people under a contract held with NHS England. There is also a branch site in Beeford, Driffield. According to the latest available data, the ethnic make-up of the service area is approximately 98.9% White, 0.4% Asian, 0.5% Mixed, 0.1% Black and 0.1% Other. Information published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows deprivation within the service population group is in the 8th decile (8 of 10). The lower the decile, the more deprived the service population is relative to others.
This was a focused assessment. We undertook this assessment due to the length of time since our last assessment. We assessed 10 quality statements from across all 5 key questions. 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.
Staff kept facilities clean and maintained equipment appropriately to ensure people were kept safe. They 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.
Staff supported people 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. Patient feedback was overwhelmingly positive about staff attitudes across both clinical and non-clinical roles.
Patients 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 service 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 service 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.
People's experience of this service
As part of our assessment, we reviewed feedback from people who used the practice to understand their views and experience of the service. This included feedback received by CQC, data from the latest available National GP Patient Survey, the NHS Friends and Family test, and patient feedback that the provider had gathered. People were positive about the quality of their care and treatment. They described how staff treated them with kindness and compassion and respected their privacy. This was mirrored in the results of recent surveys, including the 2026 National GP Patient Survey, which showed the majority people were satisfied. CQC received a substantial amount of positive feedback from patients about the “kind” and “compassionate” care they received. There was an active patient participation group (PPG) who represented the views of people using the service. Representatives from the PPG described how leaders made positive changes because of feedback and how the GPs go the extra mile to get to the bottom of any issues.
