What CQC reported

The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.

People’s experience

Feedback from people during the visit to the practice was positive about the improved access to services and the quality of their care and treatment. Recent survey results, including the NHS Friends and Family Test, and Healthwatch reviews, showed people were satisfied with services. However, the National GP Patient Survey was still negative in comparison with local and national averages about accessing the practice by the telephone. In response to the July 2024 national survey the practice and their patient participation group (PPG) had carried out their own surveys, this showed improved, and positive patient experiences.

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.
