The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
People’s experience
During the onsite visit to the practice, the people we spoke with were positive about their care and treatment. They fed back positively about their ability to access appointments and using the new online booking process. People told us the staff at reception supported them to book an appointment on their behalf if they visited or telephoned the practice. Recent survey results published in July 2025 in the National GP Patient Survey showed people were unsatisfied with their experience at the practice. There was a patient participation group (PPG), however, the representatives described a lack of consistent engagement by the leaders at the practice to understand patient views. We spoke with representatives from the care homes that were provided GP services by the practice. Their feedback was positive, and they told us the practice worked with them to meet the needs of their residents. They told us there was effective access to the practice and that prescription management and advice was effective, timely, and appropriate.

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.
