The Office for Health Improvement & Disparities’ Fingertips have produced practice profiles and Primary Care Network Profiles as part of the National General Practice Profiles. However, Hull’s Primary Care Networks were reconfigured on the 1 April 2023 and the Primary Care Network Profiles on Fingertips do not reflect these recent changes.
Number of Patients Registered With Hull GPs
Information relating to the number of patients registered with Hull’s 32 General Practices is given in Population Estimates under Population.
This information is due to be updated soon as there have been practices mergers in April and May 2023, and there are now 29 practices in Hull.
Sub Integrated Care Board Areas
In July 2022, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) ceased to exist and were replaced by the Integrated Care System. The sub Integrated Care Board areas which include Hull are within the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board. In Fingertips, the sub-ICB area referenced by 03F relates to Hull which is the code applied to NHS Hull CCG. With the following file, it is possible to decipher the area names given to the sub-ICB areas with meaningful place names.
Primary Care Networks
Primary Care Networks form a key building block of the NHS Long-Term Plan. They bring general practices together to work at scale. This has been a policy priority for some years for a range of reasons including improving the ability of practices to recruit and retain staff, to manage financial and estate pressures, to provide a wider range of services to patients and to more easily integrate with the wider health and care system.
Further information on the GP practices and Primary Care Networks is available in the form of a map (due to be updated soon following practice mergers in April and May 2023). On the 1 October 2022, Delta Healthcare (which was in HASP PCN) was no longer allocated to a PCN, with services provided by Marmot PCN.
The latest PCNs in Hull are:
- HASP;
- Marmot;
- Medicas;
- Acclaim;
- Modality;
- Haxby;
- Venn; and
- Symphonie.
The number of GP practices has reduced considerably over time with practices merged together forming larger practices. At its peak in 2020, there were 60 GP practices in Hull, but this had gradually reduced to 55 by early 2016. There were more changes during 2016 with the number of practices falling to 47 by January 2017, to 40 by September 2017 and to 39 by July 2018. By May 2019, the number of practices had fallen to 35, and by June 2019 the number of practices had fallen to 33. However, between July 2020 and April 2023, the number of practices remained at 32 in Hull.
All practices except Delta Healthcare are within one of eight local Primary Care Network (between May 2022 and March 2023, there were seven PCNs in Hull and prior to May 2022 there were five PCNs in Hull). Delta Healthcare continues to be unallocated to a PCN with services provided by Marmot PCN.
In April and May 2023, there were two separate practice mergers. The three CHP Ltd practices were merged into the practice CHP Ltd – Southcoates and Marfleet (within Venn PCN), and Northpoint and James Alexander practices were merged to into the practice James Alexander (within Marmot PCN). This resulting in 29 GP practices in total.
The following map is due to be updated soon to reflect these recent changes, although these mergers did not influence the PCN groupings.
Map of local GP practices and Primary Care Networks
In some cases, the location or sites of the (closed) practice remained open so that whilst number of the official GP practices reduced when mergers occurred, the number of sites where GP practices operated did not reduce as rapidly. The map above illustrates the different sites for each practice.
General Practice Profiles
General Practice Profiles are available on The Office for Health Improvement & Disparities’ Fingertips as part of the National General Practice Profiles.
These profiles do not reflect the current primary care structure within Hull due to recent updates.
Primary Care Network Profiles
Primary Care Network Profiles are also available on Fingertips as part of the National General Practice Profiles.
These profiles do not reflect the current primary care structure within Hull due to recent updates.
Primary Care Disease Prevalence from Quality and Outcomes Framework
The diagnosed prevalence of various diseases and medical conditions is available at practice level and Primary Care Network level from the Quality and Outcomes Framework (further information within the Glossary). A Local Analysis of the Quality and Outcomes Framework Data is available under Tools and Resources. Further information is also available under each relevant disease and medical condition under Health Factors within Adults.
In July 2022, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) ceased to exist and were replaced by the Integrated Care System. Data will still be available at CCG level for some time after July 2022 so this local analysis file continues to refer to CCGs and Hull CCG, and continues to present data at the CCG geographical level. Six local CCGs were also combined to form the Humber, Coast and Vale geographical area, which has also ceased to exist. It has been replaced by the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board.
Practices have been divided into five approximately equal-sized groups (based on total list size) based on the average deprivation score of their patients (Index of Multiple Deprivation 2019) and six approximately equal-sized groups (based on total list size) based on the average age of their patients. The prevalence of disease has also been compared across these deprivation and age groups, and across the six geographical areas within Humber and North Yorkshire.
This information is due to be updated soon as there have been practices mergers in may 2023 and there are now 29 practices in Hull.
Ward and Area Committee Area Profiles
Ward and Area Committee Area Profiles are also available for each of Hull’s 21 electoral wards and for each of Hull’s seven Area Committee Areas (as well as each locality, local deprivation fifth and Hull overall).
