Kineton & Tysoe Surgery, a small, two-site rural practice, has made the shortlist as one of just five national finalists for Primary Care Provider of the Year at the prestigious HSJ Awards 2026, with the awards ceremony taking place in London on Thursday, 19 November 19.

If they win, it would mark a remarkable hat-trick for Warwickshire, with St Wulfstan Surgery in Southam winning the the same award in 2024 and 2025.

"We are now hoping to bring the award back to Warwickshire for a remarkable third consecutive year!" said Dr Rajeev Kanwar, GP partner at Kineton & Tysoe Surgery.

The surgery has already won the General Practice Awards 2025 Sustainable Practice Award, and has been shortlisted again for the 2026 General Practice Awards in the Clinical Improvement – Public Health and Prevention category, with that ceremony taking place on December 4.

"It's wonderful that both our innovation and preventative healthcare work are receiving national recognition."

He added: "We're a relatively small, two-site rural GP practice embracing AI, automation and modern technology to deliver what we call the "Rural Practice of the Future", while keeping traditional, patient-centred general practice at its heart.

"Our aim is to use technology to break down barriers to healthcare, improve access, reduce administrative burdens and allow clinicians to spend more time caring for patients. Alongside this, we're passionate about prevention, with proactive screening programmes to identify conditions such as high blood pressure and irregular heart rhythms before they lead to serious complications.

"It would be particularly special if we could follow in the footsteps of our neighbouring colleagues at St Wulfstan Surgery in Southam and bring the HSJ Primary Care Provider of the Year award back to Warwickshire for a third consecutive year, following their successes in 2024 and 2025."
