An average surgery has 6,349 patients but some practices have a much higher GP-to-patient ratio than others – or much lower. Here we reveal the least busy GP surgeries in Edinburgh in terms of their GP-to-patient ratio.
The analysis excludes GPs working only on a locum or sessional basis and those working only in Out of Hours service locations. We have also omitted practices which have no registered GPs or patients.
