The best and worst GP surgeries in the eyes of patients have been revealed for 2026. People have once again been giving their views on their local practices as part of the national GP Patient Survey, which highlights how well surgeries are performing from the patient's perspective.
Latest results are set to be published in the summer, but ahead of their release, we have examined the doctor's surgeries in the West Midlands currently rated by patients as the best. These practices will be hoping for similar praise again from locals this year.
Patients are quizzed in a range of areas, focusing both on the performance of GPs specifically and the overall experience of attending and contacting the practice. This includes quality of care and how easy it is to get through on the phone, online, or book an appointment. Respondents provide an overall rating of very good, fairly good, fairly poor, or very poor.
At the practices that secured the best ratings, almost all patients agreed they were doing a good job, with few, if any, complaints. Hampton Surgery in Hampton in Arden was crowned the best with an impressive 98% approval rate, close to a perfect score. Two inner-city surgeries were close behind, scoring 97%: Newbridge Surgery in Wolverhampton and Woodland Road Surgery in Northfield.
