Our view of the service

Date of Assessment: 23 January 2026. The Densham Surgery is a GP practice and delivers service to 3,763 patients under a contract held with NHS England. Data from the National General Practice Profiles shows that 88.30% of the practice population is White and 7.72% is Asian, with the remainder made up of other ethnic minority groups. Information published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities indicates that the level of deprivation within the practice population is in the third decile (3 out of 10). The lower the decile, the more deprived the practice population is relative to others. This assessment considered the demographics of the people using the service, the context the service was working within and how this impacted service delivery. Where relevant, further commentary is provided in the quality statements section of this report.

Leaders and staff had a shared vision and culture based on listening, learning and trust. Leaders were visible, knowledgeable and supportive, helping staff develop in their roles. Staff felt supported to give feedback and were treated equally, free from bullying or harassment. Staff understood their roles and responsibilities. Managers worked with the local community to deliver the best possible care and were receptive to new ideas. There was a culture of continuous improvement with staff given time and resources to try new ideas.
Since the last inspection, the practice had made improvements and is no longer in breach of regulations in relation to good governance
