Quarterly GP Practice Reference Files
GP Practice lists are required by users of the GP Prescribing data so that the prescribing data can be standardised based on the size of the GP Practice. They were previously published following the release of the GMS official statistics.
This information is now contained within the Family Practitioner Service GMS Statistics spreadsheet under the Quarterly General Medical Services Statistics section above. Please navigate to Table 1.6 to obtain the numbers of patients registered with each practice on a quarterly basis.
