Figures published by Public Health Scotland show GP practices across Scotland usually have thousands of patients on their books.
The latest data shows there are more than 5,000 GPs working across 921 surgeries across Scotland, as of 1 January 2022.
An average surgery has 6,349 patients but some practices have a much higher GP-to-patient ratio than others.
Here we reveal the busiest GP surgeries in Glenrothes, Leven, Buckhaven and across north-east Fife.
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.
