These are Bradford’s highest-rated GP surgeries, according to the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The independent regulator of health and social care inspects and regulates care homes, dentists, GP practices, hospitals, mental health services and much more.

In the most up-to-date list, 272 GP surgeries across the Bradford district have been rated by inspectors. But only three of those were placed in the ‘outstanding’ category of care.

The CQC is due to inspect 26 practices, which do not currently have ratings.

This could be because the service is new, inspectors don’t have enough evidence or the service has recently been reconfigured, such as being taken over by a new provider.

Here is a full list of the CQC’s top-rated ‘outstanding’ GP practices and groups in Bradford district.

'Outstanding' GP practices in Bradford

Modality Partnership

Modality Partnership House received its latest CQC review on January 5, 2023.

In its last inspection, in July last year, it was rated ‘outstanding’ overall.

When the CQC reviewed its information, it found no evidence that the rating needed to be reassessed. 

It was rated ‘outstanding’ for responsiveness and leadership as well as ‘good’ for safety, effectiveness, and the inspection question, ‘Is the service caring?’.

Modality is based at Kilmeny Group Medical Practice but runs 10 practices across Bradford district.

This includes Long Lee Surgery, Keighley; Oakworth Medical Practice, Oakworth; Haworth Medical Practice, Haworth; Silsden Surgery, Keighley; Steeton Surgery, Steeton Health Centre; Holycroft Surgery, Keighley; Cross Hills Group Practice, Cross Hills; Farfield Group Practice, Keighley; Fisher Medical Centre, Skipton; and Gargrave Surgery, Skipton.

In the CQC’s overall inspection in August 2022, the report found the practice was embedded in its community. This included helping patients get access to food parcels or attending drug outreach services to weekly outreach clinics for hard-to-reach patients in local venues.

The report said: “Patients received safe and effective care. We saw that the management of patients and their medicines was safe.

“The practice were continuing to respond to the GP National Patient Survey. Patient satisfaction with access and appointment times was below national averages.

“Staff dealt with patients with kindness and respect and involved them in decisions about their care.”

Windhill Green Medical Centre

Windhill Green Medical Centre, based in Shipley, received its latest CQC review on July 26, 2019, and received an ‘outstanding’ overall.

It was rated ‘outstanding’ for effectiveness, leadership and the service question, ‘Is the service caring?’.

The practice received a ‘good’ rating for safety and responsiveness.

The report, based on the CQC’s last inspection in March 2016, said: “The practice worked closely with other organisations and with the local community in planning how services were provided to ensure that they met patients’ needs.

“The practice implemented suggestions for improvements and made changes to the way it delivered services as a consequence of feedback from patients and from the patient participation group.

"For example, providing improved car parking and installing water coolers and air conditioning in the waiting areas.

“The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.”

Bevan House

Bevan House received its latest CQC review on January 5, 2023, and received ‘outstanding’ in the five key categories.

It was rated ‘outstanding’ overall and in focused questions on safety, effectiveness, responsiveness, leadership, and the inspection question, ‘Is the service caring?’.

When the CQC reviewed its information, it found no evidence that the rating needed to be reassessed.
