Urban Village Medical Practice rated Overall Outstanding by the CQC
We’re proud to share that Urban Village Medical Practice has been rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
This rating recognises that we consistently place your needs at the heart of everything we do; treating you with respect, responding to what matters to you, and striving to deliver high standards of care every day.
While the CQC does not publish a formal league table of GP practices, only a small proportion achieve an Outstanding rating. In recent national data, around 4.8% of practices in England were rated Outstanding overall.
That means being Outstanding places us among a select minority of practices, and we’re genuinely honoured to have earned that trust from the regulator.
What the inspectors said made this inspection special
🔹 Your test results and treatment changes are tracked closely, especially for conditions like diabetes, cancer, and sexual health.
🔹We encourage open feedback, learn from incidents, and use audits to continuously improve how we care for you.
🔹Our practice is designed with our patients in mind — we adapt and respond to your needs rather than assume a one-size-fits-all model.
🔹Inspectors said: “Leaders demonstrated excellence in identifying and responding to local needs and harnessing national and local opportunities to the benefit of their patients and the community.”
🔹We deliver a specialist Homeless Health Service, offering full GP registration, care, outreach, and support through a dedicated multi-disciplinary team.
🔹We actively go out into the community — through outreach clinics, audit-driven improvement, and partnership work — rather than expecting patients to come to us.
🔹We’re also honest about where we’re growing. The inspection highlighted some areas for strengthening, and we see those as opportunities to get even better.
Thank you for being part of our community, for sharing your feedback, and for supporting us to provide the best service possible in the current climate.
We remain committed to continuous improvement and to working with you to provide the best care possible and today, we’re celebrating together!
