Ongoing Assessment for Earls Barton Medical Centre

Assessment dated 30 July 2025. Published 25 November 2025.

What CQC reported

The service is not performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.

People’s experience

Recent survey results, including those from the National GP Patient Survey and the NHS Friends and Family Test, were slightly below the national average. A minority of comments expressed concerns about accessing care, support, and treatment in ways that met people’s needs. People who used the service were also invited to provide feedback directly to CQC, which we reviewed. Overall, patients provided positive feedback regarding their satisfaction with the service. At the time of the assessment, the practice did not have an active Patient Participation Group (PPG), despite several attempts by the provider to encourage engagement. The provider was exploring alternative ways to gather and act on feedback to help inform service improvement.

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.
