What CQC reported

The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.

People’s experience

The provider encouraged and used feedback from people who used the service to make improvements. Feedback that we reviewed showed that patient experience of the service was positive overall. The results of the National GP Patient Survey were similar to or higher than local and nation average scores for patient satisfaction. The results showed that patients generally felt positive about their overall experience of the service; patients felt listened to, treated with care and concern, involved in decisions about their care and treatment, and had confidence and trust in the healthcare professionals involved. The service received low numbers of written complaints and both verbal and written complaints were investigated, responded to and used to drive improvement. People who used the service were given the opportunity to provide feedback to CQC via a link on the provider’s website. We received 41 responses from people and the vast majority of these were very positive.

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.
