Ongoing Assessment for North Chelmsford NHS Healthcare Centre

Assessment dated 1 May 2026. Published 1 July 2026.

What CQC reported

The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.

People’s experience

As part of our assessment, we reviewed feedback from people who used the service to understand their views and experience of the service. This included oversight of reviews made by care home supported by the practice and reviewing other feedback available to us. People were positive about the quality of their care and treatment. They described how staff treated them with kindness and compassion and respected their privacy. This was mirrored in the results of recent surveys, including the 2025 National GP Patient Survey, which showed most people were satisfied. Similarly, the NHS Friends and Family Test found that 90% of patients who expressed a view rated their overall experience of the service as good or very good. The practice was in the process of re-establishing a patient participation group (PPG) to represent the views of people using the service.

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.
