Where can I buy a list of UK GP surgeries with the practice manager's name and email?
We hold 58,734 records in our Doctors category, and 46,369 of them name a contact, so names are well covered. Emails are not: just 690 records, about 1%, carry a named contact email. Every record has a phone number and a postal address, so plan to write and ring. A free count for your area shows the real figures before you commit.
What you get when you buy GP surgeries data
A record here may be a whole practice or one doctor at a surgery, so a busy practice can appear more than once. This is how far each channel reaches across the records we hold.
| Channel | Records with it | Share | Coverage | What it means for GP surgeries |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Post | 58,734 | 100% | Strong | All records carry a surgery address. A letter addressed to a named practice manager is the most dependable way in, and it is not slowed by the phone queue. |
| Phone | 58,734 | 100% | Strong | Every record has a number, but expect the main surgery line that patients ring. You will meet a menu and a receptionist long before the person who decides. |
| Named contact | 46,369 | 79% | Strong | 46,369 records name someone. That is enough to write to a person, not just to "The Practice Manager", across most of the list. |
| Email | 690 | 1% | Thin | 690 named emails across 58,734 records. Any plan that relies on email will miss almost every surgery. |
| General email | 157 | under 1% | Usable, with care | 157 records hold a general inbox. At a surgery this is often watched by admin staff dealing with patients, so a sales note there is easily lost. |
Records with each contact channel (58,734 GP surgeries in all)
Don't build your campaign around email. Order for post first, add phone if you have callers, and use the few named emails only as a nudge to surgeries that have one. If you want those 690 records on their own, the order is so small that the £300 minimum order applies, so test them alongside a postal mailing rather than instead of it.
Our Doctors category follows the general medical practice code (SIC 86210). That takes in NHS GP surgeries, but it can also hold private GP services and other doctors who trade as a general practice. We can't split NHS from private for you, so if you only want NHS surgeries, check the sample names and addresses before you pay. Because some records are individual doctors, two or three may share one address and one phone line. If you want one letter per surgery, look at the sample for repeated addresses and raise it when you ask for your quote, so you know what you are paying for.
Who the named contacts are
GPs see patients for most of the day and rarely deal with suppliers. The person who runs the business side is the practice manager: staff, premises, IT, phones, contracts and most purchases. Bigger choices, such as a new service, building work or anything that changes partners' income, go to the partner GPs, often at a regular partners' meeting. So in most cases you want the manager named, and you let the manager take your proposal to the partners.
- Practice manager
- Business manager
- GP partner
- Senior partner
- Assistant practice manager
- Private GP
Where a record names a doctor rather than a manager, don't drop it. Write to the surgery and add "for the attention of the practice manager" as a second line, so the letter still reaches the right desk.
Selections worth paying for with GP surgeries
General practice is spread across every town, so most buyers only need to choose area and title. Other cuts look useful but change little for this sector.
| Select by | For GP surgeries | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Region or county | Worth it | Useful if you cover set territories, such as a rep visiting surgeries or a service tied to particular health areas. |
| Postcode area or radius | Worth it | The right cut for a local trade: cleaners, waste collection, locum cover or IT support that must reach the surgery quickly. |
| Job title | Worth it | Pay for this one. Asking for practice and business managers cuts out records you would struggle to act on. |
| Number of employees | Sometimes | A rough pointer to bigger practices, which suits phone systems or software priced per seat. For most products every surgery is a fit. |
| Independents or groups | Sometimes | Some practices run branch surgeries. If one manager buys for all sites, you may only want the main one; check how this shows up in your sample. |
| Records with an email only | Rarely needed | Leaves you 690 records, a small order that hits the minimum charge and reaches about one record in a hundred. |
| Records with a phone number only | Rarely needed | Every record already has a phone number, so this cut takes nothing out. |

Taking only the named-contact records saves less than you might expect. The whole list is big enough for the lowest rate per 1,000, while the named-contact cut falls into the band above it. Compare both quotes before you decide.
Licence, accuracy, screening and delivery
The 12-month licence matters here because surgeries are slow to buy. You can write in one quarter, ring in the next and follow up after the partners meet, all on the same list. Practice managers do move on, so use the sample to check a few names against practice websites, and keep returned post as evidence for the accuracy guarantee. If calling goes on beyond 28 days from delivery, screen the numbers again first.

General practice has an unusual mix. About a third of the workplaces ONS counts in this code are partnerships, and more than four in ten are partnerships or sole traders. The ICO says sole traders and some partnerships are treated as individuals, so you need their specific consent before sending marketing email, unless they bought something similar from you before and did not opt out. A Scottish partnership or an LLP counts as a corporate body, like a company. You can't tell from a surgery name which kind you have, which is another reason to keep email small here. A practice manager's own work address is still personal data, so data protection law applies when you use it. Letters are not covered by these email rules, and the numbers you buy are screened against the TPS and CTPS before delivery.
Be plain about who you are when you call or write. Don't present a sales approach as anything to do with the NHS or patient care.
Before you buy GP surgeries data: questions to settle
- Do you want NHS surgeries only? This list can include private doctors, and we can't split them out, so check the sample.
- One letter per surgery or per doctor? Look for repeated addresses in the sample and settle this before you get the quote.
- Is the practice manager your buyer? If so, ask for the job title cut and see how many records it leaves.
- Do you have the staff to call? Reception queues are long, so a phone plan needs time set aside, not just numbers.
- Are you counting on email? With 690 named emails, plan post and phone first.
- Do you need health centres or clinics as well? They are separate categories and are only in your order if you ask.
Questions about buying GP surgeries data
Where can I buy a list of UK GP surgeries with the practice manager's name and email?
We hold 58,734 records in our Doctors category, and 46,369 of them name a contact, so names are well covered. Emails are not: just 690 records, about 1%, carry a named contact email. Every record has a phone number and a postal address, so plan to write and ring. A free count for your area shows the real figures before you commit.
Can I buy a list of GP practice managers rather than doctors?
Yes. Ask for practice manager and business manager as the job titles. Your free count will show how many of the 46,369 named records carry those titles in your area, since some name a GP instead.
Is it worth buying GP surgeries data for an email campaign?
Not on its own. Only 690 records have a named email, and many surgeries are partnerships you can't email without consent. Buy for post and phone, and treat any emails as an extra.
Does the GP list include private doctors?
It can. The list follows the general medical practice category, which is wider than NHS GP surgeries. We don't hold an NHS or private selection, so look at your sample records to judge the mix.
Will I get the same surgery more than once?
Sometimes, because some records are individual doctors at a shared address. Check the sample, and say when you ask for a quote if you want to mail each surgery once.
How much does GP surgeries data cost?
All 58,734 records: £9,984.78 excluding VAT, at £170 per 1,000. The 690 with a named email: £300. Orders under 2,500 records are £295 per 1,000, and the minimum order is £300 plus VAT. Your quote gives the exact figure.
