Date of Assessment: 11 March 2026 to 16 March 2026. Northgate Medical Centre is a GP practice and delivers services to 10,052 patients under a contract held with NHS England. The practice is managed by Dr Francis E Bolliger. The practice had been previously rated good overall at an inspection which took place in December 2016. At this assessment the rating remained good overall.
The National General Practice Profiles states that 88.60% of patients registered at Northgate Medical Centre are White, 6.39% Asian, 1.65% are Black, 2.46% are mixed and 0.90% are other ethnic groups. Information published by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows that deprivation within the practice population group is in the eighth decile (8 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.
