Number of patients per GP Practice in England 2016-2024

Published by Jenny Yang, Apr 3, 2025

As of December 2024, the average number of patients per GP practice in England amounted to over ten thousand. This figure has been increasing since December 2016, when there were 7.7 thousand patients per GP practice in England. GP practices have increasing pressure due to decreasing GP practice numbers and rising demand.

Note: the NHS now publishes data for each UKcountry separately. See the number of patients per GP practice in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
