People’s experience
Patients reported that they had experienced delays in complaints being actioned or sometimes not responded to. Staff gave us similar feedback. Leaders at the practice told us that some of the processes for complaints had not been followed due to staff shortages at management level over several months and that they believed they were now being dealt with effectively. Patients told us (via complaints to CQC, NHS choices feedback and GP National Survey), the patient participation group (PPG) and staff at a care home where patients were resident, that being able to get through on the telephone and that access to appointments was poor. There was similar feedback following our assessment from patients. Staff and whistle blowers told us the same. Leaders at the practice told us they thought the GP national survey sample was too small to draw conclusions and they believed their patient satisfaction survey was much higher than national averages. Patient feedback on staff was mixed regarding there being enough staff, some people told us that there were not enough staff from our give feedback on care completed by people following the assessments and complaints to CQC prior to our assessment. The practice told us they were recruiting more administrative staff. In the previous six months prior to our assessment of the practice CQC received 4 complaints from patients stating that they were unable to obtain repeat prescriptions and several whistleblowing from staff stating the same information. When we carried out the assessment any outstanding repeat prescriptions were waiting to be authorised in the prescribed time limits of the practice policy.

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.
