Where can I find a list of GP Practices in England and Wales?

We had the following question raised via email:
"A couple of years back we were using your GP lookup API on our patient management system but this API was then stopped and we had to design a new GP lookup feature within our PMS.

Do you know how I could obtain a current up-to-date list of the GP practices in the UK so we can do some data cleansing? We seem to have a lot of duplicate GP practices and would like to remove them but currently not sure which practice is the correct one."

Hmm, I wonder if the requestor wants to know whether we have APIs for this. One option might be the ODS APIs, another might be the various healthcare services APIs. A good place to start would be our (relatively new) guide to building healthcare software that deals with organisations and healthcare services.
