As of December 2024, there were general practices in operation in England, the lowest number of practices in the provided time interval. With the decreasing number of GP practices, the number of patients per practice in England is also increasing, furthering the strain and pressure in general practice.
Note: Instead of the total number of GP surgeries in the UK, the NHS now publishes data for each country separately. See the number of GP practice in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
