The practice surgery is located at Maybush Health Centre, Belle Isle Health Park, Portobello Road, Wakefield, West Yorkshire WF1 5PN. The practice serves a patient population of around 9,100 people and is a member of NHS Wakefield Clinical Commissioning Group.
The surgery is located in purpose built premises and is readily accessible for those with a physical disability or with mobility issues, for example the entrance door is wide enough to allow wheelchair access. There is parking available on site for patients and an independent pharmacy is located close to the practice.
The practice age profile shows that 23% of its patients are aged under 18 years (compared to the CCG average of 20% and the England average of 21%), whilst it is below both the CCG and England averages for those over 65 years old (15% compared to the CCG average of 18% and England average of 17%). Average life expectancy for the practice population is 77 years for males and 81 years for females (CCG average is 78 years and 82 years and the England average is 79 years and 83 years respectively). Information published by Public Health England rates the level of deprivation within the practice population group as three on a scale of one to ten. Level one represents the highest levels of deprivation and level ten the lowest. The practice population is primarily composed of White patients, although there are significant numbers (15%) of patients from other ethnic backgrounds.

The practice also participates in a local telephone triage service, Trinity Care, which operates across the local network. Once capacity is full at the practice, patients who request to be seen on the same day will be put onto a triage list. This service operates during normal operating hours. Calls are triaged and an appointment made with a doctor should this be necessary. Patients also have the ability to ring direct to the service and bypass the practice.
Extended hours care is provided by GP Care Wakefield and the practice telephone system automatically diverts to this service between 6.30pm to 10pm Monday to Friday, and 9 to 3pm Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays, for same day GP appointments.
