People were mostly positive about the quality of their care at Blake House Surgery. We reviewed results from the 2024 National GP Survey, which indicated 85% of responders had an overall positive experience of the service, which was above the national average of 74%. There was an active Patient Participation Group (PPG), which represented the views of people using the service. The group met quarterly to discuss the service and concerns raised. Representatives from the PPG told us they felt listened to. Both the service and the PPG were keen to encourage other people to get involved in the group to ensure better representation of the local population.

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.
Independent lookup: Check My GP is not affiliated with the CQC, NHS or this provider. Providers cannot pay to change their rating or position. CQC data is reused under the Open Government Licence; GP Patient Survey results are published by NHS England and Ipsos.
