The practice shared with us 9 compliments received within the last 6 months, comments describing the practice included professional, outstanding, put at ease, thank you and excellent service. There was an active patient participation group (PPG) who represented the views of people using the service. There were in person meetings and there was representation from the GPs at the meetings. Items discussed on the agenda were projects relating to health, appointment system, staff updates for patients and community support and promotion. We spoke with representatives from 2 care homes where the practice had patients who were resident. They gave us positive feedback.
