^a Practices with list size <1000, with missing data, or that reported the number of fully qualified full-time equivalent GPs as 0 were excluded (n = 118 from 2022 GPPS results).

^b ’Good’ = very good or fairly good in 2022 GPPS.

^c Odds ratios were generated using multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression clustered by GP practice (n = 6389 practices). Adjusted on practice level for 2022 GPPS results for age (% aged ≥75 years), sex (% female), ethnicity (% white), presence of long-term condition (% yes), deprivation (using practice 2019 English Indices of Deprivation),⁸ and the number of patients per full-time equivalent fully qualified GP on 31 December 2021.⁹ CI = confidence interval. GPPS = GP Patient Survey. OR = odds ratio, SD = standard deviation.
