What CQC reported
The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
People’s experience
We received 96 Give Feedback on Care (GFOC) forms. Sixty-nine of those were negative about their experience accessing the service. People commented that they found it difficult to get through on the phone and that when they did, there were no appointments left for that day. Twenty-five GFOC forms were positive about good treatment and care. Staff were praised for being friendly, helpful, caring, and professional. Two GFOC forms provided mixed feedback. People said it was difficult to get an appointment but when they did the service was good. The results of national GP patient survey (July 2023) placed the practice below the local and England average for all indicators related to access. Healthwatch Brighton told us that 7 patients had contacted them recently complaining about difficulties getting appointments. We spoke with two members of the Patient Participation Group who also told us people were finding it increasingly difficult to access 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.
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.
