GP Surgery Premises Management: What It Covers, Why It Matters, and How to Get It Right
Half of GP practices in England are already operating from premises that do not meet their current needs. GP surgery premises management covers planned preventative maintenance, reactive repairs, CQC compliance documentation, statutory risk assessments, NHS Property Services billing disputes, and capital funding applications. Most practices handle some of these things internally, partially, and reactively.
GP Surgery Refurbishment: The Complete Guide for Practice Managers (2025)
A GP surgery refurbishment is one of the largest capital decisions a practice will face. Done well, it increases patient capacity, satisfies CQC inspection requirements, and unlocks NHS funding you may not realise is available. The UK government has committed £102m to GP surgery estate improvements, with 1,027 practices already receiving Primary Care Utilisation and Modernisation Fund support.
Risk Assessments for GP Surgeries: What UK Law Requires and What CQC Will Check in 2026
A risk assessment for GP surgeries is a legal requirement under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, not a clinical nicety.

Fail to do this and you face simultaneous enforcement from two separate bodies: the Health and Safety Executive and the Care Quality Commission.
