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

People’s experience

Feedback from people using the service was mixed. Some people told us they thought the practice met their needs, whilst others felt they did not because they were not offered the treatment and / or medicine they requested. Not all people felt their concerns about their health were listened to or heard when they spoke with GPs. Feedback about accessing appointments varied. Although people commented it was easy to get an appointment, these were usually over the telephone and face to face appointments were rarely offered, even when requested. The practice had responded to feedback for the deaf community about the accessibility of the website. The website had been updated to include a section specifically for the deaf community with information shared via British Sign Language videos. The results from the 2024 National GP Patient Survey were generally positive about the practice.

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.
