Date of Assessment: 6th May 2026. The Spitalfields Practice is a GP practice and delivers service to approximately 13,400 patients under a contract held with NHS England.
The National General Practice Profiles states that the practice serves a patient population with a diverse ethnic background, with approximately 47% of the registered list identifying as Asian and 40% identifying as having a white background. The age profile of the registered population shows a relatively even spread across most age groups, with higher proportions of patients within the working-age and younger age groups.
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.
