What is registered locally
Understand the mix before comparing ratings
CQC regulates several kinds of service. A GP practice, dental service and care home should not be treated as interchangeable results.
“Good or Outstanding” describes the latest overall rating held in this directory. Some active providers are not yet rated or have services assessed separately.

Practices rated Good or Outstanding in Durham
This is a factual view of active GP-practice records, ordered by rating band and then recent report date. It is not a “best GP” league table or a claim about current patient availability.

Using this area page
Three checks before choosing a provider
A rating is useful evidence, but it does not confirm current NHS registration, appointments or whether a service meets your individual needs.
Confirm the service type
Open the profile and check that the registered service matches the care you need.
Check the evidence date
Read when the provider was inspected or assessed and whether newer information is available from CQC.
Contact the provider
Verify services, accessibility, opening times and whether it is accepting new patients or residents.
For national context, open the CQC ratings by area report.
Common questions
What the register can—and cannot—confirm
Use the directory to find the right official record, then confirm practical availability with the provider.
Are all listed providers GP practices?
No. CQC regulates several service types, including dental services and care homes. Check the provider type before comparing ratings.
Does registration mean NHS places are available?
No. Registration and a rating do not confirm current NHS availability or whether new patients are being accepted.
What does “not yet rated” mean?
An active provider may not yet have a published overall rating or may have services assessed separately. Open the official CQC record for current evidence.
Important: ratings can be old, services can change and registration does not guarantee appointments or NHS availability. Confirm current details with the provider and CQC.
