Profile any GP practice or PCN's registered population by deprivation and need — Index of Multiple Deprivation, the Core20 share, general health, ethnicity and disability. Everything is population-weighted from where the practice's patients actually live (NHS patients-by-LSOA), not just where the surgery sits, and benchmarked against England (Core20PLUS5).
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Sources: MHCLG English Indices of Deprivation 2019; ONS Census 2021 (general health, ethnicity, disability) via nomis; NHS patients-registered-by-LSOA. Census uses 2021 LSOAs joined to 2011 registration geography by code (≈96% coverage).
Planning an Integrated Neighbourhood Team?Combine PCNs and practices into a ~30,000–50,000 footprint, then size and segment the population.
Pick a lens, then click any neighbourhood for its dossier. Click a practice dot to highlight its registered areas.
The deprivation gradient
Self-reported ill-health, disability and over-65s by national IMD decile (1 = most deprived). The hallmark of health inequality: outcomes worsen step-by-step with deprivation.
Inequality gradients — access, activity & funding by deprivation
Every outcome the platform holds, averaged across practices by IMD decile (1 = most deprived) and patient-weighted. A step down (or up, for "lower is better" measures) from the affluent to the deprived end is the inequality. The last panel tests whether NHS funding actually follows need.
Most-deprived practices
Highest Core20 share in England.
Least-deprived practices
Lowest Core20 share in England.
Practices by IMD decile
How England's GP practices distribute across deprivation deciles (1 = most deprived).
England population profile
Census 2021, population-weighted across all LSOAs.

Deprivation (IMD)
Population-weighted national decile (1 = most deprived 10%) and the Core20 share.
Patients by national IMD quintile
On the national health gradient
England's bad/very-bad self-reported-health rate rises step-by-step with deprivation (the red line). The marker is this practice plotted at its own decile — above the line means a sicker population than its deprivation predicts, below means healthier.
National benchmarking
Where this practice ranks against all ~6,200 English practices, and whether its population is healthier or sicker than its deprivation level predicts.
Outcomes & funding vs deprivation peers
How this practice compares with the national average and with what's typical for practices at its deprivation level (its IMD decile), across the platform's datasets. "Typical" is the patient-weighted decile average; tone shows whether this practice does better or worse than those peers. Funding is shown as context.
General health
Self-reported health categories, this practice vs England.
Disability (Equality Act)
vs England.
Ethnicity
High-level ethnic groups (Census 2021). Inner ring = this practice, outer = England.
Where this practice's patients live, by deprivation
The registered LSOAs shaded by IMD decile (darker = more deprived). Boundaries: ONS LSOA 2021 (generalised).
