The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.

People’s experience

People were positive about the quality of their care and treatment. Recent survey results, including from the National GP Patient Survey and the NHS Friends and Family Test, showed people were satisfied with services. The practice continued to endeavour to encourage patients to participate in a patient participation group (PPG) to represent the views of people using the service, so far without success. To mitigate risk the practice encouraged patient feedback with an internal patient survey, which the practice reviewed, and action plans derived and through compliments and the complaints processes. The Care Quality Commission were in receipt of 2 complaints to which patients were referred to contact the practice to raise as a complaint, and 8 positive patient experiences. The patients’ positive comments focused on the practice team, the care provided, access and the range of appointments. Patients included the whole team in their comments and that staff were efficient, professional, kind and they felt listened to and included in discussions about their treatment.

Evidence, not a league table.

CQC findings and GP Patient Survey results answer different questions and may cover different time periods. Neither confirms current appointment availability, NHS acceptance, opening hours or whether a provider is suitable for you.

Check the provider’s own website and the complete official CQC record before making a decision. If you need urgent medical help, use NHS 111 or call 999 in an emergency.
