People’s experience

Patient feedback that we reviewed as part of this assessment was mixed about their experience of this practice. Results from the 2024 National GP Patient Survey, showed patients were not always satisfied with services. For example, of those patients responding to the survey, 78% felt at their last appointment the healthcare professional was good at listening to them, this was lower than the national average of 87%; 85% of patients had confidence and trust in the healthcare professional, this was lower than the national average of 92%. The practice had carried out their own patient survey in December 2024, we saw that in general, results from this survey were more positive. However, the provider acknowledged further improvements in some areas were still needed. Feedback about the practice on NHS and Healthwatch websites was mixed. Some patients described a good service, however other patients were less satisfied. Patients we spoke with during the assessment told us they were able to get an appointment however, there was not always continuity in care. From complaints that CQC received, we found patients said they did not always feel listened to or supported to complain when care and treatment did not meet their expectations. Other feedback included that patient’s experienced delays in receiving their repeat prescriptions. Data from the friends and family test (January 2023 to November 2024) showed that patient satisfaction was consistent, with approximately 75% of respondents providing positive feedback each month and 25% either negative or neutral comments.
