Ongoing Assessment for Minehead Medical Centre
Assessment dated 20 March 2025. Published 31 July 2025.
What CQC reported
The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
People’s experience
The NHS Friends and Family Test showed people were satisfied with services. There was an active Patient Participation Group (PPG), a group of people who are patients at the practice who represented the views of the people using the service. Representatives of the PPG told us the service had shared the challenges they faced and felt the service listened to their feedback. We asked the practice to share a link with people so they could share their feedback with CQC. We received 165 pieces of mixed feedback, of which, 59% were positive. For example, someone told us ‘I have always found staff at Minehead Medical Centre to be polite, professional and helpful at all times’ Whilst our assessment did not find any elements of care not meeting the expected standard, 78% of the negative feedback we received indicated difficulty in accessing care, support, and treatment in a way that met needs or preferences. We noted that the most recent National GP survey results pre-dated the current provider taking over the service so have not been referenced as part of this assessment.

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.
